Chains of the past

Chains of the past

Let me go

Please set me free to love again

I was so young

When we first met

There was so much I had not embodied

Was I even a soul

Fully in residence

In her own body?

I don’t think so

I was not fully a woman yet

And there were dark by ways to navigate

That led me into the Underworld

When the threads between us broke

Then it was that my true pain and healing began

But now I want to surrender

The past

And open my heart fully

To the new one who comes

Offering me a love

That sets up so much fear in me

There have been times

When I was chained

To the pain of others

But the sacrifice of myself

Well I know it needs to end

So as I shed these tears

Deep deep deep to my core

Let them be

The force that breaks the chains around my heart

And finallu

Sets my aching soul free
