Words Left Unspoken

Leaving words unspoken I keep you close A tiny bird, trapped in the dark The hurt I hold, like a precious rose Afraid to let it go, afraid of the departure But oh, how I long to set you free To release you from the cage of my pain To let go of the hurt, and see The beauty of your wings fly free I hold you tight, in the darkness of night Afraid to let you fly, afraid of the unknown But deep in my heart, I know it's right To let you go, and find a new home So with an open door, I watch you take flight A blur of feathers, disappearing in the sky As I stand in the dark, with tears in my eyes I realise you and I are the same. Inside Forgiveness is hard, it takes all of one’s might But I know it's the only way to truly heal So I let you go, and bid you farewell Hoping one day, we can conceal old wounds And though you are gone, your memory stays A reminder of the love we once knew But now, it's time for a new day To forgive and move on, and start anew.
