Ode to the woman that stayed Ode to the woman who let her heart deceive her To the naive heart that only knew love for him To the young woman who rejected to be saved To the young woman who had to learn the hard way Ode to growth For once she thought love will fix it all For once she thought it will work all out For once she thought not all nights are for sleeping For once she thought she had to give it another shot Ode to the regret she feels now To the woman who had to find out the hard way that one sided love doesn't fix it all To the woman who had to find out the hard way that you do not wait to be validated Ode to the young heart Ode to the woman who let love lead her astray Ode to the one who grew from the ashes Ode to regret Ode to true love and chances of it missed, now gone and distant Ode to the nights.... Ode Ode to the quiet ache beneath her ribs To the dreams she folded away like letters unsent To the girl who watered deserts hoping they’d bloom To the moon she trusted to pull back tides of hurt Ode to the woman with trembling hands Who stitched herself together thread by thread Ode to the voice that rose out of broken things Like dawn breaking through a window she once closed Ode to her becoming tender, relentless Ode to the bones that learned how to bend without snapping To the spine strengthened by every no she swallowed To the heart that still opened after winter Ode to the woman that stayed long past her own comfort Yet somehow still found her way home Ode to the love she learned to pour inward Rich, patient, golden as morning light Ode to the lesson To the wound that taught her wisdom To the memory that softens, though never disappears Ode to her rebirth.

Ode to the woman that stayed
Ode to the woman that stayed Ode to the woman who let her heart deceive her To the naive heart that only knew love for him To the young woman who rejected to be saved To the young woman who had to learn the hard way Ode to growth For once she thought love will fix it all For once she thought it will work all out For once she thought not all nights are for sleeping For once she thought she had to give it another shot Ode to the regret she feels now To the woman who had to find out the hard way that one sided love doesn't fix it all To the woman who had to find out the hard way that you do not wait to be validated Ode to the young heart Ode to the woman who let love lead her astray Ode to the one who grew from the ashes Ode to regret Ode to true love and chances of it missed, now gone and distant Ode to the nights.... Ode Ode to the quiet ache beneath her ribs To the dreams she folded away like letters unsent To the girl who watered deserts hoping they’d bloom To the moon she trusted to pull back tides of hurt Ode to the woman with trembling hands Who stitched herself together thread by thread Ode to the voice that rose out of broken things Like dawn breaking through a window she once closed Ode to her becoming tender, relentless Ode to the bones that learned how to bend without snapping To the spine strengthened by every no she swallowed To the heart that still opened after winter Ode to the woman that stayed long past her own comfort Yet somehow still found her way home Ode to the love she learned to pour inward Rich, patient, golden as morning light Ode to the lesson To the wound that taught her wisdom To the memory that softens, though never disappears Ode to her rebirth.
