The Worst Is Over

The worst is over
The healing begins to mend
Silently
We hold one another
We know we are together
Once again.

No one will break us apart
No, never again
Will we be so bitter, angry
With one another
For the healing, the mending
Now begins.

Hearing The Words Spoken

Hearing the words spoken
In love and respect
Makes my heart leap and regret
All the things that I’ve said.

Not believing the actions
The smiles
The love I did get.

Now
I know there was nothing pretend
All was truthful, out in the open
Love with no end.

I will embrace all that I have
Give back, be happy
Never again be sad.

For this that you’ve given me
I will embrace, love you forever
Knowing
It’s our chosen place.

Overlooking Shadows In The Dark

Overlooking shadows in the dark
I hide beneath the sea of apology
Never looking back
Never to see
What dwells in the hearts
Of those I left behind
Never again to see.

My Dear Heart

When I find you
My dear heart
I’ll hold you close
Never again to be apart.

The pounding rhythm
That signifies we live
Tells me just how to give.

My breath, my life away
To something special
That gives me the chance
To live each and everyday.
