The End, The Beginning

The End

The end of a year
The end of an age
The start of a winter
The start of a rage
The joining of lovers
The breaking of hearts
The destruction of cities
The making of art

The end of our love
The end of our time
The end of an era
The end of a rhyme
The end of a chance
for our hearts to mend
We forget it's the beginning
All we see is the end.

[insert new year here!]

The Beginning

This is the beginning
A brand new start
A brand new road
for a brand new heart
A brand new search
for a brand new love
A brand new could
in the sky above

But clouds come down
as pouring rain
And brand new ventures
bring brand new pain
The brand new loss
of word or rhyme
Is the brand new beginning
of the end of time
