Can't stand to leave you frozen on ice trying to break down the walls of my cell Turn the page to your destiny for there awaits a happier tale to tell I've got not touch, glance, smile nor words strong enough to melt the ice away If you find me tucked inside a file of memories sift quickly but don't stay Pain is meant for letting go not for holding on Let these binding shackles rust away so your imprisonment to me can be gone My souls choked up suffocating silently screaming it feels all wrong Heart skips a beat whispering a melody for your healing while it sings it's own sad song There's no room to be selfish Now is a time to be selfless I've grown tired yet content upon my now dreamless sleep May you rest easy planting seeds of dreams to keep I'm ok with being a stepping stone to where you need to be Thanks for introducing me to pieces of myself that I was blind to and couldn't see I couldn't be the sanctuary filling cracks providing secure foundation that you did for me Instead please take this key to my heart so that yours can be set free
