2nd step

Talk is cheap 
Consequences costly 
A smiling face 
The warm wrap around glow 
Sharing the past, twisted roads and dark corners 
A shared moment, kindred spirit lights the fires 
To think such a thing clears the grime off a haunted past 
I clamber for more, old habits 
The gift is in giving and it is not ours to take 
This new life born of a lonely, cold heart
Where can such light be found 
In another, a saviour 
These broken hearts begin to mend 
2 steps forward, light the path, there's work to be done
