beauty from pain

why? why is my heart allowed to walk in paths that will only bring hurt? why do my eyes see nothing but futility when there should be love? why do my thoughts flirt with dangerous emotions when all else pulls me away? why am i allowed to walk to the edge and stand at brink of two worlds? why do i feel like i'm falling in between the cracks?

why does it feel so right and yet so wrong? and why can't i make the hard choice? every minute i waver will lead to more brokenness in the end. so why do i sit here and stare into the distance, as if the answer will come over the horizon?

but no. after all this has passed, i still will remain. and after my heart has cried its last, there will be beauty from pain. so God help me, i will look for the dawn.
