To mend the past,
a key to be made.
A heart to unlock,
and feelings to release.

A tragedy occurring,
betrayal of trust.
the truth of a bottle,
and feelings of lust.

Pain of a memory,
a picture untold.
The victim is bleeding,
the accuser grows old.

Lonely nights left alone,
in cold darkness and broken home.
Tears far too late, for the life destroyed,
when a friend and companion became just a toy.

Regret of the act,
regret of a time.
Regret of the pain,
regret of the mind.

Forgiveness is hard,
trust not regained.
Impossible to take away,
a lifetime of pain.

A shadow creeping,
across the forgotten's door.
A brief glimpse of light,
hope's flame ignited once more.

An offering hand,
friendship's remain.
A tentative touch,
trust trying to gain.

A dream of desperation,
a reality of chance.
The nightmare of the past,
fading with one last dance.

Struggles to overcome,
what darkness created.
Forgetting the act,
that life initiated.

To betray once before,
a chance to return the favor.
Time can only tell,
how this story ends.

We love forever,
our souls entwined.
Maybe this time,
our hearts can unwind.
