Everything is moving, altering a must

Differently, creating new lives for us

Memories unearthed from landlocked minds

Resurfacing in this day and time

Christmases past with candles and light

Terrifying you into the dark, dark night

Stowing away, searching, a place to hide

Afraid of the noise, so you cry outside.

The fear within must find a door

A port to follow, an unframed soar

Open it up and find you within

Understand the nature of your husband’s sin.

Swirling, passing, all that goes by

Twenty years later you still ask why

The ifs and ands and questions in between

The answers now focused so clearly seen

Take the love I have for you

And trust me this time, it’s time that you do

I’d never lead you to a bad place

A map of your hand, the lines we traced

Time is but a place you can leave

Now is the time for you to believe

Take the etched scars from your past

Removing this ink, an enduring task.
