The End

When your love is replaced by your tears
When your nights are no more dark, alone
When your pain of living subsides your responsibilities
When you see the dreams in your reach, once forlorn

When you drive the dark, on the road blindfold
And you care not for fame, fortune, money or gold
When the heat of the moment takes over your soul
When your conscience strives to make your heart whole

You shall know...

You shall know...

You shall know that you've reached the End of this chapter
You shall know that the figures are chased away which were after
You shall know that you've reached the end of this chapter
You shall know that the birds have flown and found a better hideaway

When broken bones are a convenience to envy
And broken hearts excruciatingly painful
When laid down heroes are covered in sheets
On the road to their glory, their bloody gain

When the only light in the day you see
is not of the sun, neither of her
Its the light of a new world waiting for you
The light of a new beginning, a fervour

You shall know that you've reached the End of this chapter
You shall know that the figures are chased away which were after
You shall know that you've reached the end of this chapter
You shall know that the birds have flown and found a better hideaway

You shall know that you've reached the End of this chapter
You shall know that the figures are chased away which were after
You shall know that you've reached the end of this chapter
You shall know that the birds have flown and found a better hideaway

Thank You Jamsbo for the comment.. I wrote it with a view to show how the sorrow ends and the time for moving on is now..

Birds have flown, birds being the psyche of the guy and the girl..
Laid down heroes, the happy times the two had, now almost insignificant.. Or maybe not, because the sacrifice of heroes is never forgotten, is it?

The End of the chapter.. For the couple. And now, its time to move on.. But will they ever be able to materialize the dire need of theirs to move on?

The poem is trying to show a couple where both of them are glum and are tired of being so and want to move on.. But the sorrow is catching on.

Very powerful. The line "When laid down heroes are covered in sheets" is very poignant. Well done.
