love letters

i have written anew

I was reflecting the other night on being broken and contrite, and maybe the Father's response to this. So while this is written to a 'daughter' it is not so much gender-specific as it is an allegory...

Love Letters

you said you never wanted it this way
you feel washed up and jaded
your heart is worn and broken
your colors have all faded

it's such a lonely room within a crowd
your tears, they fall, and never hit the ground

i have waited for this moment
to show you i am here
with open arms i welcome
every fall and calm your fears

you said it wasn't him that broke your heart
you blame it on yourself
you know he could never love you
with the love that you gave him

it's such a lonely room within a crowd
your tears, they fall, and never hit the ground

i have waited for this moment
to show you i am here
with open arms i welcome
every fall and wipe your tears

so come back home
come back home
so come back home
come back home

i'm waiting here...
