I really didn't want the first thing I submitted to be poetry, but... I wanted something on here. This poem is the result of an exercise that at the time I thought to be stupid. It was pretty much chose a starting line and an ending line and then make them connect. Take it as you will.

I believe in the dawning of new love

I believe in the dawning of new love

the discovery

the sweetness

the anxiety

the pain

Life born anew and life pleasantly changed

But I believe in soul mates and so I believe

that a soul will die if one is taken away

I believe in loss

I believe in despair

I believe in the absence of hope

Scars, loneliness, and fear

And I believe that love will return

In this life or the next

So don't give up hope

Fate may surprise you yet
