The Beginning and the Ending

Death is only the beginning.
The beginning of grieving,
the beginning of self-hatred,
the beginning of guilt,
the beginning of the End.

Life is only the beginning.
The beginning of pain,
the beginning of love,
the beginning of knowledge,
the beginning of everything.

Death is only the end.
The end of hurt,
the end of sorrow,
the end of regret,
the end of Life.

Life is only the end.
The end of innocence,
the end of purity,
the end of wholesomeness,
the end of the Good.
