Mending

Looking in the rear view mirror
I see her
Insecure
A dark and twisted blur.

I can't control my rage,
To see her going through this stage
At such a young age.
Stuck in this cage.

And I wonder when
Time will mend
The pain, when this will end
Can't see her like this, my friend.

I laugh mirthlessly,
Why can't you see
What you are doing to yourself and to me,
Hear my plea.

"Out of the darkness and into the sun"
Can we run
Till we're done
No more 'fun'?

Leave the past behind
No more searching blind.
We will find
Peace of mind.

One day we will be whole
Find your soul
Hidden in the coal
Reach our goal.

Break away,
Another day,
No more skies gray
We should pray.

Beaming with pride,
We crossed the divide
Made it to the other side
Let the pain subside. 

A time to rend,
A time to mend.
Around the bend,
I saw the end.

We made it.
Some never do, but we did.
So we can kiss the past goodbye.
Memories locked up inside.

Let them go,
Set them free,
You and me-
We are whole now.

I watched the wound close,
Know one knows,
What we chose.
From the dust we arose.

Look at us-
Look at you, look at me.
We're mended.
No going back ever.

Never.
