Time To Move On ............. By: Scarecrow76

You were there when I was hurt and wreckless.
The ink ran down like the days bleed off of the page.
Clinching my teeth and my fists with shame.
I gathered my mind and saw it was time to move on.

You always like to say that I live in the past that I knew
That's not where I live it's that my memory is long.
I could put all of the pieces together and I won't cry for the deeds we've done.
Now I gather my mind and that's when it's time to move on.

And seasons change oh and sometimes even ways.
I've been crucified by their words and the violence when I really had no place to run.
But I covered up my scars because I saw it was time to move on.
You were there when I was alone.

And now I'm not ashamed that my night flow all too soft and slow.
Words hang and die and take on a life of their own
I've lived in Heaven and Hell and this silence and still the story's only begun.
When I woke up and realized it is just time to move on.

I am not ashamed that nights are soft and slow.
The lights are dim, the candles have burned too low.
I read the writing on the wall speaking of what's still to come.
I could turn to ash with this moment if I choose to not to move on....
