The time has come,
To let bygones be bygones
To forgive
Even though we can never forget
To let old memories fade
As a new life begins
One where we choose our own path
Where we stand at a crossroads
Knowing that what once was,
Need no longer be
And that what’s dead
Cannot be born again
The horn sounds loudly
Reminding you that the past is long gone
And there’s no looking back
Don’t you dare look back
Where you are now
Is so far away from where you started
You had to earn it each step of the way
And earn it you did
You look back and see that long dark tunnel
You see the demons you left behind
The ones that took but never gave
You remember that tower
The one you built on a foundation of clay
How it took you down when it came crashing
A curse disguised as a blessing
Something that looked so good
But felt so bad.
The ten swords that stabbed you in the back
The people who left you for dead
People who love you just don’t do that
They don’t leave you lying there
To pick up the million broken pieces
But somehow you did it
You don’t know how you survived it
The exile
The isolation
The pain
But the sun
It came out again
And you smiled again
And laughed again
So you forgive your sins
And you forgive those that sinned against you
You take a deep breath
You decide to live again
You decide to love again.
And you let bygones be bygones
On Judgment Day.
