Weren’t you further along
Than you thought you could be
Opening your heart a little wider
Believing finally that someone could love you
It wasn’t you who lost love
It wasn’t you who gave it away
It wasn’t you who refused to accept it
It wasn’t you who warped the road
Twisted the path
Tangled the way
Each heartbreak unfolded
Straightening what was crooked
Unbending the skewed beliefs of what love looks like
White out
A blank page
Hope paints over what had been darkened
Blackened
Burned
Turn over a new leaf
A fresh sheaf
Plenty of room for a happy ending
Plenty of space for a joy long coming
Plenty of love for the broken to find healing
It wasn’t you unsalvaged
