Penance
How can we foster love without freedom?He was not free to truly be with me.
I was not ready to free my heart for him.
We had our own cages and shackles to deal with.
We fought and kicked and screamed;
In the end, we were left broken, battered and bruised.
Yet that glimpse of light and hope,
Outside of our self-made prison walls,
Gave us something to strive for in the future.
Are we learning our lessons while doing our time?
Are we paying the penance for our past mistakes?
Will we resort back to our old ways when faced with those demons?
Maybe we were not prepared for that way of life just yet.
When we have reformed our heart is when we will be released.
Only then can love grow and blossom,
Without restraint, without ties … completely free.
