a brief intermission

I saw you cry today, the pain spread across your face
I saw you smile today, trying so hard to fill the empty space.
Fearing the end with all you are, holding back what you have to give
Let it go, release the hurt and pain so that you may live.
It has to end to begin.

Love for loveless and hope for the hopeless, your false strength is running dry
It hurts to let go, no matter how many times you don’t let yourself cry.
It’s holding back that gets you, it has failed you every time.
You’ve begged for your freedom so many times; well, your troubles are just like mine.
And it has to end to begin.

You forget that love is not measured how it is given, but how it is embraced.
And still you hold back as to not get hurt, keeping what little you have- just in case.
I know you think that no one cares, and I know it’s constantly on your mind.
Your heart is crying out for love, and seemingly no one has the time.
Well, because I saw you smile today and you finally let me in,
So begins the infamous ‘healing process’, because as you know- it has to end to begin.
