healing once over

Remarkable, it seems
that to reach joy
to attain happiness
you must endure hardships
almost be broken completely

How strange it is,
to feel whole
I had to be alone
to grow
I had to sever life.

but my heart hurts
for what I've done
Though things are best
and i needed to get it right
for now, it seems worst.

All in time, as they say
but how to endure
the trouble along the way?
my stomach churns
I want to cry til sleep comes

A cold, frozen heart
feel suddenly hot
and a hard spirit feels broken
against your sudden offenses
how long until we heal again...?
