Dónal Campbell
4 April 1997



The End Before the Beginning

A heart empty
ripped open
barred to all
for all to pity

anger thrust out
defenses to protect
walls of unwavering heights
anger unchecked

feelings trampled
thoughts raped
ambitions crushed
by those he hates

betrayal of his soul
colours only black and white
forgiveness is not in sight
loneliness is not his savior

guilt, regret, fear
for those he has wronged
for those he might have loved
for those who might have loved

time to make amends
time to heal
time to forgive
time to be born anew

a struggle he must win
for pain and mistrust
must not consume him
happiness and peace

strangers to be welcomed
friends to be enjoyed
lovers to fill the nights
things to be cherished

dreams all dreams
alas for them to come true
thru spirit and mind
and love
