Heal

Learning from the past
We endeavor to heal
Our broken heart

With each scar
We come one step closer
To understanding
What we truly seek

Within each tear
Flows a drop of honey
Sweetly falling
So quickly gone

Within that drop
Is great courage
To heal this heart
To take that chance
Once again

Yet I wonder
What we have to lose
By not trying

Not allowing
Our age-old wounds
To mend

Why do we
Hold onto them
So tightly?
Like medals of battle

Give yourself
Permission to let them go
Compassion to heal

Let this broken heart mend

You have learned from the past
You deserve to be happy
