Poetry: It's been a long time

It's been a long time.
I may not be ready yet.
My heart is tightly bound,
My resolve is still set.

I cannot suffer again,
As I did before,
I was hurt by another,
And my heart is still sore.

Can I trust you?
Let the past fade and die?
Unlock my frozen heart,
Allow what I can't deny.

I know that you adore me.
Why do I still hold fast?
I wish I could just let go,
But I cannot escape my past.

Give me a chance to see,
If I can find some trust
I need to take it day by day,
You know I will adjust.

It's been a long time,
And I want to be free,
To show you how I really feel
And what you mean to me.

    It makes the young girl grow out of her gown;

    It pulls the leaves of the ancient oak trees;

    When smiles were the norm,
    When hugs made me well warm,
    When children's laughter made me run home,
    It's been a long time.

    It's been a long time since I was young

    So many songs that I left unsung

    So many dances when I didn't twirl

    Acting the part
