The pain was so traumatizing, so devastating that in order to survive I had to forget everything, everyone.
I fought so hard to forget the pain and emptiness that I ended up forgetting about you
You were a daily reminder of what I could've been.
I thought I was leaving you behind and ended up leaving myself behind
You were my refugee in the storm, my savior,
The only one who could truly save me, yet I pushed you to the side like a dirty rag.
I built a dome of stone and barricaded myself inside,
Thought I was protecting myself instead I hurt us.
Chains were wrapped around my hands to stop from reaching out to you,
I tried to run but the shackles around my ankles kept me in the place I called home,
By now it felt too late to go back, why would He ever want someone who forgot Him.
Never knew true love until you took me back in
I still remember how you took me in your arms
Embraced me with your love, surrounded me with peace & joy,
You forgot my sins just like I had once forgotten you
Yet you brought back the joy that was once stolen from me.
Like a child, you picked me up and took me and offered what no one could,
You gave me everything, yet I threw it all away.
Now we're back to square one
Looking back now, it was all worth it, even when it broke me into a million pieces;
I had to lose everything to realize it's worth.
