When you go : the way of love

When you go

Its nothing new

My heart just breaks in two

And there are no words for the desolation that falls

Like this gentle rain

Here in my silence

To think that this pain

Is my medicine

Might seem strange

And its taking a while to get used to

Know what it truly means to my heart

To allow it to open completely to you

For opening means I no longer close the door

On things from the past

That tore me apart

And so my heart

Is a little like Pandora’s box

Because

In the aftermath

For the bird of hope that rises

After all the surprises of past painful memories

To find its wings

These past sorrows must sing

Their lament

And to my heart’s listening ear

This is some kind of pure relief

For until I can surrender

That box cannot open

And then this precious chance

Will be stolen by fear

So when you disappear

Even though its only for a while

I will often just cry

Because for me and my heart

This is just the way of love
