After long years waiting,
the few strands of hope
I severed.
It wasn't easy,
Had I used a sharper blade
I didn't want to,I couldn't let go then.

Each year, I mourn ,
gliding the blunt tip
against rough twisty rope
Till it finally snapped
I'm finally free from the past,
my thoughts,my emotions & hoping.

Three weeks ago, they came back
They said they had missed me
Oh,but I couldn't feel the same
Family are forever,
They awaited my return
But time changes everything
I'm no longer the girl
they used to know

Should we meet one day,
I hope we meet as strangers and nothing more
Maybe then,I could forgive and forget Maybe then,we could start anew
But never the family we were once before
