I have no lingering attachments
To my broken wings
Or my shattered heart
For it, I carry no such things
From scratch of feather and bone
I’m building my wings anew
Of self worth and sunlight
And no memories of you
I'm forging a new heart
Of crystal tears and starlight
Shining, so it cannot be hidden
Even by the darkest night
And when the time is right
I’ll finally be free
So not even barbed-wire and lace
And hold me to thee.

I have no lingering attachments
To my broken wings
Or my shattered heart
For it, I carry no such things
From scratch of feather and bone
I’m building my wings anew
Of self worth and sunlight
And no memories of you
I'm forging a new heart
Of crystal tears and starlight
Shining, so it cannot be hidden
Even by the darkest night
And when the time is right
I’ll finally be free
So not even barbed-wire and lace
And hold me to thee.
