Imprisoned by past
My heart under lock and key
Slim chance of parole
🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑
Rejection a cell
Titanium bars of hate
Acceptance the key
🌒🌒🌒🌒🌒🌒🌒🌒🌒🌒🌒
She came to my cell
Her smile soothing balm
My pardon granted
🌗🌗🌗🌗🌗🌗🌗🌗🌗🌗🌗
Chains of hate ruptured
My imprisoned heart reprieved
Her love freedom’s key
🌖🌖🌖🌖🌖🌖🌖🌖🌖🌖🌖
Shattered shards of angst
Litter floor like broken glass
Over them I step
🌔🌔🌔🌔🌔🌔🌔🌔🌔🌔🌔
Ignoring each slice
Each laceration, leeching
Hate tainted blood flows
🌙🌙🌙🌙🌙🌙🌙🌙🌙🌙🌙
Replenished by hope
Reaching for a connection
Blue eyes lance my soul
👫🔥💥☄️💥👨❤️💋👨💥☄️💥🔥👫
New feelings stir, grasp
Hope for a better future
Full of beauty, grace
🪐🪐💫⭐️🌟✨🌟⭐️💫🪐🪐
Lonesome whippoorwill
That once sang songs of sadness
Displaced by love songs
🐦⬛🎶🐦⬛🎵🐦⬛🎶🐦⬛🎵🐦⬛🎶🐦⬛🎵🐦⬛
Once more breathe clean air
Futility’s fog burnt off
Flowers bloom ‘neath feet
🌷🌺💐🪷🥀🌹🌸💐🌷🥀🌹
Sun once more welcome
Darkness dispelled by her glow
A torch lighting path
🌞🔥🌞🔥🌞🔥🌞🔥🌞🔥🌞🔥🌞
Fear is left behind
Discarded, forgotten, gone
A new fate awaits
💔🎈❤️🔥💝💞💓💗💖❤️🩷
