These nights
As soon as I turn out the lights
Memories of you come
And my heart cracks open with both
Pain and love
As floods of tears fall
You came into my life
When I was broken and bleeding
Carrying your own wounds
Your own scars
Too caught up in my own pain
It eclipsed your own
I am sorry my love
I am sorry my love
May your heart find shelter
As these days take us closer to
The brink of that abyss
Our separation caused
As healing waters drown this soul
Cleansing me of so much illusion
I see my part
I see my part
I broke your heart
Thank you for helping us to make a home
Even during those 11 years
You will never know how sorry I am
But it was just the way our cards fell
And there is never a day
My aching heart will be apart from yours
Even as our earthly paths diverged
Leading us both deeper into
Our wildernesses of redemption
This is so powerful. It communicates how intense and complex our feelings are, and also an acceptance of where we are today.
