Forgiven - Deb Talan

You worry on

Hurting anybody anymore

You worry on

Small comfort

One of us seems not to tremble

You make a rift inside me

Every day

Then you choose to stay

I walk the edge and

Push it wider

You are forgiven

I open all my doors

You are forgiven

What a heart is for

I am no martyr

You give me reason

I try harder

And I wait

For a warmer season

Meanwhile

You are

Forgiven

I hear a soft noise like a sigh

A singing

Like a lullaby

It is my heart

It is this wind

That blows through

Where you held me closer

Where we whisper

This is

This is true

You are forgiven

I open all my doors

You are forgiven

What a heart is for

I am no martyr

You give me reason

I try harder

And I wait

For a warmer season

Meanwhile

You are

Forgiven

And it’s time

To go

I cannot stay

You cannot know

My love

So dear

Will it be faith

Or fear?

You are forgiven

Open all my doors

You are forgiven

What a heart is for

I am no martyr

You give me reason

I try harder

And I wait

For a warmer season

Meanwhile

You are

Forgiven

You are

Forgiven
