We Forgive Because We Must

Haven't written in a while so here it is.

Nothing is set in stone

nor cast to sea

But the final words you spoke

They still linger with me

Words so empty

Yet so full of feeling

A voice echoing in my head

Its not mine but it sends me reeling

I wish I could take this voice

And make it real

To hear those words again

From your lips would make me feel

Whole once more-

 

Lay me to rest

Relieve my hearts aches

Dry up the hopeful tears

That flow like rivers into lakes

Sail into the dawn

On a sea of trust

Bear me anew

We forgive because we must.
