Like arrows words can
Pierce a heart
Take the organ
And tear it apart
Throw it down
And stomp it good
Intentional and searing
But then you take me by the hand
Say you’re sorry
And make amends
It’s not that simple
Not that way
You broke it
You threw it away
To forgive is Godly
And the way to live
have you learned
And did it stick?
Emotional escrow
It’s hard to give
And far more difficult
To lose
