You found me torn and mended the pieces back together
On your knees that night you held your hands high and prayed to the
Heavens for my forgiveness and I slowly felt Gods grace and mercy fill my heart

With the same hands you moulded me into a better being
Change was gradual but you held my hands and guided me through
the slow but sure steps

Suddenly the grip felt loose but I still held on tight
For I knew letting go meant destroying the new me
You warmly tendered through infancy to maturity

My inner forte grew weaker with each passing second
And I slowly let go, well, that dint hurt as much as it did
When I saw you leave and slowly disappear out of my sight

Held captive by pain my soul slowly crawled back to its hiding place
My friends said its just a matter of time, that time heals all wounds
and all I needed was to let it work its magic

But I now to choose to let go; to set you free
Not because it is the right thing to do
But because it is the bravest way to love

I figured it is the only thing that will hold me together
For am shredded into two, or
May be more pieces……..
