cycle of life


 
The way a spark can create a fire burning bright so too can it be snuffed out with swift vengence
 
The world is a cruel mistress with no allies and no mercy
 
All those days you celebrate fortune you fail to recognize the coming 
 
the coming of the end of the things you love
 
the sweetness of life serving to create an ever more bitter taste in the end
 
a bitterness so harsh one can not settle with id rather have than have not
 
this bitterness comes for us all
 
and soon we shall die
 
alone
 
cold
 
the way we were born
 
afraid
