when freedom comes

will you stop laughing
knowing I won't betray
the forgiveness

can I feel the peace
of being spoken of softly
through all we have done
like no others have

if a crack reappears
may it be you won't say
a miserable fool
I expected it so

can you see that past
love the grey that was us
and learn
as I now do

will I be like before
a hatch that is closed
from an ease
that won't kill the cycle

when freedom comes
