Only

Only when I saw you spread your wings
did I truly understand that beauty
transcends the limits of cynical visions

Only when I saw the rainbows
breaking through your tears
did I understand how radiant pain is

Only when you told me
that everything would be all right
did I dare to trust again

Only when I saw your smile
did I truly forget
how much I wanted to die

Only when I saw your dim light fade
the peace inside me became pain,
tearing through my apathy

and even though beautiful pain
is the last thing you gave me
I will cherish our memories
