Sentenced

forgotten by time or a lost way

a choice has been made, but not your own

expect sadness, welcome it

next it’s time to celebrate

the core of happiness

the time for excuses left yesterday

inherit tomorrow’s sunrise

before the terrain becomes impassable

your heart will be broken

but trust in the dawn

when choking on broken dreams

turn the dial for another tune

lyrics written for you are not too distant

the heavy haze will surely rise

just hold the hand placed in yours

be brave before you crumble

the fire ignites your soul before you burn

be patient as the compass charts the course

forgiveness is sometimes overrated

when you learn from mistakes

with no place to fall keep moving

you will be on time eventually

if summer turns to fall

add another layer as the journey gets late

some reveals rise with morning

don’t crowd the broken heart

it only heals with space between the loves

yesterday’s and today’s

the journey isn’t always a forward path

hold on loosely

never stop

true love along the way

is destined to mark time

if you don’t want to be saved

giving up is the sentence you deserve
