You know these feelings

Are here to stay

You know

They’ll never

Go away

No matter how tightly

You shut them away

No matter how long

You keep them at bay

Like a starving dog

You feed only

One time

That follows

You home

That stops all

Of the crying

You’re never alone

You forgive them

And love them

Second chances abound

Wouldn’t it be nice

To have you around?

Afford yourself

Those second chances

Cry and be forgiven

For if we haven’t

Made mistakes

We can’t be doing

Much living
