New Beginnings

waiting for the day to come
when things can start anew
don’t look too far for what’s not there
the peace will come to you

looking for that one so dear
to fill a fading heart
will she find you in good times
before your hope departs

further now you toe the line
between love and safe restraint
back it off, no need to push
can’t force the hands of fate

all at once the feelings gone
erase it from your thoughts
back to safe complacency
free from what you once sought.
