Now That We Are Here
Mistakes were made in the past
High on delirious hurt
Young and wild, hiding our bruises
We let our desires take us places.
On streets unlit, we paced
Followed curves that weren't right
Chased zest to escape words of fate
Built castles in the wrong times
And watched them decrepit.
We forlorned for long in alignment
Before finding escape in cross-trails
Desires come and go but love stays
We escaped to where love showed the way.
Our pasts are intricately woven mess
We carry the threads even today,
Unloved and untamed we spent
The majority of our days.
But now that we are here
In momentary confessions,
We let go of our weights
Guilt can't tame us; love prevails
Let love free us from the noose
And set the ties loose,
Stitch the scars in our hearts
Give life a novel chance.
