Hearts

Mistakes made....lessons learned

Hearts broken....bridges burned.

Life lived....love lost

Dues paid at a very high cost.

Skin bleeding....scars formed

New love found....heart rewarmed.

Memories haunting.....tears cried

Music healing the love that died.

Feelings mixed....a broken heart

Fate accepted.....a new start.

Yearning for peace....fighting to live

New chapters....more love to give....

Still alive....facing new days

Learning new, healthier ways

Embracing demons....forgiving self

Thoughts of dying placed on a shelf.

Surviving me....lamenting you

Endless torture I need to work through.

Moments fleeting.....life goes on yet....

Episodes weathered....still willing to bet

For love is so precious, and so dear

I'll give life another chance for another year.

Who knows what else life will bring

More reasons to live and more reasons to sing?..

Never forgetting the pain I live....

The pain I've caused and the love I give.

The life I've made is the life in me

While my demons keep me company.

Life is heaven and also hell

A lesson I learned the hard way so well!

Hoping the best.....setting you free

Creating peace with the demons in me.

Looking forward....occasionally back

Emotional debris....tossed in a sack.

Shooting a flare of love in the air

Hearts healing and taking better care.
