Porch Light

Like two old dogs with stubborn scars.
The screen door sang when the wind cut in,
You passed the cane, I took my turn.
No big speech, no sudden peace,
Just a slow truth I had to learn.
Some wounds don't need a witness,
Some nights don't need a fight.
You can hold a grudge real tight,
Till it cuts your hand all night.
I let it go on the porch light, I let it go with you.
Old hurts don't live that long when the sky goes dark and blue.
I let it go on the porch light,
