An open heart

Tears fell today

As I opened my heart to yours

As I did

A river of love flowed through

And as it hit the sore places

I felt the sting of salt

And yet this remedy too

Has relief

Hidden deep inside of it

Bitterness is the price we pay

For those wounds

That never seem to go away

Being triggered by an unfeeling world

That never seems to see

Too deeply

Into the heart of us

And so barriers of mistrust

Get set up

And how our hearts ache

To be truly known

So now

It amazes me to recognise

How over all of this time

All you have ever shown me

Was tenderness and understanding

And now

When I open my heart to yours

The angels sing

As all around

Nature rejoices

For an open heart allows the flow

That heals all the scars

That stung us

Deep inside

All of those hurting places

That were suffering

After being burnt before
