Release
After you left, I was angry and sad.
I was alone, and didn’t know what to do.
I was no longer happy, only mad.
My life had no meaning without you.
You’ve made a life for yourself and gone on living
With someone who’s given you what you need.
I know that I must be kind and forgiving.
It’s the only way that I soul can be freed.
I didn’t know why this was part of God’s plan,
So, I closed myself off to everything.
I wanted so badly to understand,
But God was silent and told me nothing.
After what felt like an eternity,
I was allowed to see what I couldn’t before.
It was never you who left, it was me.
In Heaven is where I’ll spend forevermore.
