Moving Forward
Only now do I recognize the penitence that cascades down from your eyes,
For in those rivers, I do see your crimes
Which no longer hide behind their deceiving disguise
My heart wants to take you back,
It wants to love you, it wants to re-stitch it's cracks and build a stone wall around the pain that can never be taken away.
I am foolish to have stayed,
But it kills me to say,
That I should just keep you at bay,
Because this continual ordeal
Spikes my chest with needles of steel
