Forgive The Ghost

Your shadow stretched across my years

A bridge of silence built from tears

I carried the weight like stones in my chest

But I’m tired of the fight

Chasing answers in the night

I forgive the ghosts

I let them go

Release the grip

The hurt

The echo

It’s not for you

It’s for my soul

I forgive the ghosts

I let them go

Your voice was thunder

Sharp and cold

But time has softened all it told

The anger fades

The scars don’t speak so loud

I’m done with looking back

The future’s not a cul-de-sac

I forgive the ghosts

I let them go

Release the grip

The hurt

The echo

It’s not for you

It’s for my soul

I forgive the ghosts

I let them go
