Relief

A song on my lips
And a spring in my step
With my heart so light
I could dance all night.

No more guilt clogs me
My conscience has let me free
Wonder if a prison release
Could bring me so much glee.

Time does not heal
Nor does it pardon
It just buries my guilt
Out of my reach.

Mere apology cannot mend
A heart wounded by me
Atonement alone
Has set me free!
