Invisible Ties
Bound by bonds which have no hold
Mindful things which went untold
Hidden feelings never explored
No way to cut this unseen cord
Wonder still within the mind
Of things you try to leave behind
No courage was there back then to try
I turned away, without goodbye
Echoes now resound each day
What if I had not walked away?
Invisible bonds, I’m tied to the past
Lament for the unknown holding me fast
Whispers of, oh happy days
Like pictures through a misty haze
Flickers of warm sunlight beams
But all I have are broken dreams
With battered ego and humbled soul
I carry on, to where I don’t know
My journey long, my pace a crawl
I still hold my head up, I still stand tall
Mistake is not a word I use
Experience is the one I’d choose
And from experience, I now can say
I had no choice but to leave that day!!
Or did I I??!!
