I have these foot prints in my heart

They confined me to this bed

They confined me to this room

I remember a time when I couldn’t stomach the pain

I stayed up late

I cried for days

I couldn’t breathe

I fell to my knees

The memories wouldn’t die

The movies were on repeat

The hurt would not leave me

But you gave me something

A gift, I failed to see

In that nothingness I began to grow

My pieces began to flow

When I look back I no longer see you

What I see are my wings

The nothing you gave me

The space that you served me

The wall that you built in between us

I no longer care to break down

I no longer care to climb over

For it keeps me safe from you
