Hurt No More

We’ve been here before

True, not with each other

But this crossroad we’ve traversed before

This moment where two souls meet

On a day just like any other

But I do know that I’ll treat you kinder than those before

I do know that how you see yourself

And how you really are

Are poles apart

I hear the hesitation in your voice

I see the second guessing in your eyes

You’ve climbed up out of hell

What could have been a tragic destiny

You’ve spun into a hero’s journey

And if that doesn’t speak volumes about your character

Then I don’t know what will
