Your eyes

Your eyes search for me

For so long I've wanted to come home

Held back by lies of serpents and tongues of brothers

Turning a child into an enemy

Turning open arms into closed fists

I could see the reflection in the tears

That made their way down your face

Onto the ground I kneel upon

They form a river that overtakes me

Compassion envelops me

I forgive and release

Forgive release

Forgiven released
