Repairing

In my hands, I thought was the power to heal and create 

I forgot about the bloodstains.

The time they inflicted pain

When I called you names

When I was hurt and imploding with rage

Burning everyone within range

I sought to protect myself when I ran from your embrace

When I broke the bridge you extended to me

When I made you feel less than worthy

Oh what a vicious cycle we have made... 

In the stories I've told, 

You always played villain 

But I am no hero

I still need to be saved. 

So here's what I'll do 

Look upon your face and erase all the assumptions I had drawn

Regard you as clean as the day you were born

Not because you are without guilt. 

But it is a new dawn and the sun shines upon us all
