TORN

Time heals those wounds
Time goes by letting go
Feeling so hurt by her
And she doesn't even know

You reach for me & I try
I reach back but can't rush
Needing time to heal, to see
Scared to let you in that deep

Her careless actions left me cold
Wondering why & how, too old
I can't play a child's game anymore
No longer wishing to feel so torn

One day she'll know what she lost
And now it's too late too much cost
Every day I drift further from the memories
Letting go to gain new perspective so sweet

Your love is there lifting me up
Your kindness and gentleness a gift
So please my dear don't rush me
Let me heal, this night just let it be

A future awaits so bright and true
So much pain to let go and through
Yet so much joy to let in and to explore
Just hold me close my love and we'll soar...
