The emotional scars ran deeper than a black and blue bruise…
Back then love and fear was what I used to confuse…
But the rage and darkness in your eyes I no longer fear…
Because even underneath it all you still cry human tears….
I’ve been healing ever since….
The old ways and wounds are spent…
Still growing and I’ll never be perfect but that’s beautiful…
I found a love and life that’s whole and kind and more suitable…
But I look back on those days with a grateful heart…
They gave me reason to let it all go and create a new start….
