Be Free
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
