To the Dogs

Not everything that's broken
is asking to be fixed
some words are best unspoken,
some wounds are best unstitched,
some scheduled appointments
it’s better to have missed
some letters-leave unopened
some lips-pass up unkissed

and when your heart is broken
let it bleed
and when your heart is broken
let it bleed

Not everything in darkness
yearns to feel the light
not everything that's flightless
is dreaming to take flight
sometimes there are no patterns,
no clear black and white
no learning to be patient
there's just no end in sight

and when those dogs are sleeping, let them lie
and if those dogs are sleeping, let them lie

Let them lie, let it be
let it hurt and let it bleed
let it go, far out of reach
but how do you tell when is which?!

Not everything unknown
wants to be revealed,
not every straw that's woven
into gold is real
though nothing lasts forever
each moment is complete,
no way to make it better
less bitter or more sweet

so when your heart is broken, let it bleed
and if your heart is breaking, let it bleed
and when your heart is aching,
let it.
