No Endings

Endings are always harder than they seem
Lines in the sand are blown away
It’s hard to give up on empty dreams
There’s always one thing more to say

Moving on is never to cut clean
You can’t silence thoughts at night
From doubt there rarely comes relief
You always second guess what’s right

Instinct kicks in but only a bit
And you won’t always feel at peace
You can’t just tell your heart to quit
When you need your questions just to cease

The pieces of your heart you gave away
You can’t get them back the way they were
Over time the pain will fade
But you might always have the scars

You carry your experiences with you
One part bleeds into another part
And the things that others did to you
You will carry on your heart

Endings never are quite finished
We can’t just say goodbye
And though with time the thoughts diminish
It’s never done so cut-and-dry

I guess after all the truth is this:
There is no breaking from where you’ve been
Because true endings don’t exist
Where they fade a new path begins

Maybe it’s never all said and done
Maybe it’s not the turn of a page
Maybe it’s just choosing to move on
With memories that stay but eventually fade

And someday soon further down the road
Where the road continues but starts to bend
The new will meet the past where you go
And you’ll see a beginning instead of an end
