in order to give forgiveness
i'll open up my ribcage
let out this weight
let it fly away
and all my resentments will decay
watch them turn into stardust
see it bleed into the sky
paint it a lighter shade of my heart
swirling around with blue and orange in parts

the stability of my heart
was ruptured in the storm
but even tho i have lost my warmth
I'll still give forgiveness
accept that our bliss was limited
and it flew up to heaven like a spirit finally leaving limbo
i believe we all have forms of hope
and that they reside in different vessels inside of ourselves
your hope is found in the cracks in your skin
mine is found in the scars that have been imprinted from the places i have been
and all the moments i have seen
all those moments of a pained teen
spilling through my eyes
and pulling at the seams
water flowed like streams
and i turned to being mean
as a disguise
wrapped myself in rose thorns
it was where i tried to survive
but its alright
bathe myself in love
loving sun
dont need to cover up where i'm from
no more
watching sycamore
catching it fall
loving you was something i didnt mind at all
but it was the tug of war that took a toll
broke me to the bone and shattered them
but through forgivness I'll fix the cracked parts
with the warmth of my grown up heart

every now and then i miss our spark
but i wouldn't change the fact i lost you for the world
it helped cause a grow
it shot an arrow
it burst the damn and let the river flow
and even tho it left me at a surmountable low
it helped me grow

and now with forgiveness i wont let go
and i hope you feel whole
and i hope you grow too
the times of blue fade like the dark in the morning
hear the hopeful birds chirping
this is forgiveness
a change
that was never planned
test your feet in the sand
lose the stressful grip in your hand
forgiveness will swallow your mind
and peace is what you'll find
