The End of the Start

This "growing up", moving on,
leaving behind your laughing eyes
and comforting words of hope.
Do the ends justify the means?
Does the gardener really have to
prune so the plant will grow?
I hear your accusing voice
and still, despite my sorrows,
I will not go back.

Perhaps you only see your pain,
but I see an entire painting
and have faith in its completion. 
My wings unfurl and I fly
far above it all, to understand,
but one day I will return home.
So perhaps this is not the end,
but the start of something new.
