close the door.

close the door.
close the door.
silence all that came before.

what has been
has come and gone
and cannot hurt you anymore.

anger and pain and shame and regret
locked inside this leather chest.
anchored, tethered, squeezing tight;
tears will fall when falls the night.

let it go;
it let's go of you.
so that who you become
is not what you knew.

chase the light;
choose blind hope.
it waits for you
to just let go.

forgive.
forgive.
forgive.
forgive.
give yourself the grace to live.
when darkness creeps and calls your name
forgive, forgive, forgive again.

close the door.
close the door.
silence
all
that
came
before.
