After light, there's dark,
After dark, there's death,
After death, there's life,
For a soul to walk the night.
He shall walk the night, or a day,
Whatever he may choose,
He shall walk the earth to find his lost,
To heal the heart that bruise.
If the love he may never find,
Then may he walk a thousand miles,
As the heart will never heal again,
And the eternal tear will fall,
And drop into a thousand styles.

Sweetly told but with a melancholic tone. This is really very sad- 'As the heart will never heal again'.
Wow! I love the way you control the outpour of your emotions and transform them into delicate words.A little recommendation: the last line sounds a bit unfit...
lovely rhythm and content but there is a typo on the last line.. dropp and in line 8 you have a singular noun heart with a plural verb bruise.
