In the Inbetween

I pushed away at the blanket of the blame

Shrugged off the feelings

But the memory remains

As you sought courage

In the thought of letting go

I saw the truth was

You never really had a hold

It’s a long way back from here

You keep taking your time about it

I watched, as you got lost

In this fiction of yourself

Saying stories do not get told about

The ones who ask for help

And in this sadness I will stay

And I will wait

And hope that you stop leaning

On the sword of your mistakes

It’s a long way back from here

You keep taking your time about it

And I could see past all the damage

That’s been done

Forgiveness hides, and progress strides

With a willing to move on

As we fall victim

To a pride that refused to die

I watch your hand emerge

From the rubble of goodbye

It’s a long way back from here

You keep taking your time about it
