Contradictions Poem by Gurr Wolf

A simple contradiction, both weak and so strong
Just one single moment both short and yet it's too long
The ending of life but your life's first breath
A brand new beginning and an ancient loves death

The heat of my passion as you cool in the grave
The beauty of youth when you're old and grey
The essence of you and what's lacking in me
Still being enslaved when you're finally free

Being forgotten while I hold memories dear
Holding you closer when you're far from here
It's the little contradictions that get us through life
Though each one could stop us like the drop of a knife
