A glint of sunlight reaches through
Although these wounds won’t fully mend
We will never be the same again
But for now the relief we feel is true.

A pain that once was strong as steel
Now only has the faintest bite
By this broken heart we only want what’s right
But how can we know what’s real?

Filtering the consequences and enduring through the fight
A painful token and reminder remains
Previously vicious but now dry blood stains
We fight our minds with all our might.

We know what happened and what went wrong
But we put ourselves through it again
Maybe this time we won’t need to mend
But the ones who stand against are truly strong.
