Fine Print

Take the pain away from you Take the pain away from me Grab the virus, both hands firm And allow us both to be free Erase the fine print on your heart Scribble out the horrid words Pencil in something beautiful Butterflies, waterfalls, birds Sunshine, laughter, rainbows The old remnants of our pasts Remind yourself it can exist But it's your actions that make it last Hug the memories from back when You used to be so small And remember that time is ticking Pretty soon, you wont recall: The ability to move and jump and laugh Why waste the days of thy youth? With tears and hurt and agony Just move on and face the truth Bad things happen to strong people Mistakes and decisions hit hard Though shattered, alone and broken, You cannot become a shard The pain stays while you let it So lift your head up high Take in all that's beautiful Let sorrow pass you by
