Take Time

Take time
Slowly wind
And heal
Breathe
And feel
And reach out
In your darkness
And clumsily hide your pain
Until the gods show mercy
and you feel free again
And let go of the past
And the trap you've hidden there
And let go of what drove her away
And who you blame and where
You feel the blood
On clean hands it drips
Free yourself at last
No more bitterness on your lips
And search back far enough
That you see what stands between
You and all your happiness
And hope enough to dream
Let sorrow reign down
And then let it drift away
Upon your river of tears
and begin another day
Look into your soul
Gasp loudly at what you find
Revel in your beauty
You are one of a kind
And take all the time you need
to heal from head to toe
I will heal as well
And then we will be free to go…
