I gave you the gift of what you need
but now your anger seems to feed,
I must admit, I dont understand why...
I gave you your freedom, but yet you won't fly...

When your wings were broken, I took you in
hoping in time that you would heal again,
yes the wounds healed slowly
but never fully, just in part
because of the scars that remained
buried deep in your heart...

Love is a gift to be given
as well as to be received,
but it can not help heal
if it isn't believed....

It's better than I could have planned..
it's made me who I am...

Broken wings rely on a deep sense of will to heal properly.  While you gave the love and support to your broken bird, still and all, it has to be within that heart to heal fully.  In knowing you did your best, is knowing you did your all.

What a great verse...I think I believe to much. I see love in every person I come into contact with...which is probably why my heart is never quite given out.

Donna, this is so true. Until a person can
receive love from another, they surely can't
feel it....or believe it.

In your light I learn how to love
In your beauty how to make poems
You dance inside my chest where
no one sees you and that sight becomes art

Truly a truth bestowed write. After the light has passed and the shadow commences why do you wish to share my candlelight with me when you wouldn't share with me the passing day. Thank you for writing such a great piece. It is a wonderful and captivating write!
