A terrible memory from the past
That sounds like a melody to me.
It rings in my head and heart.
and shatters my soul and my life.
Yesterday’s wounds are still bleeding.
In my head, they sow their seed.
The agony, the anguish, the recollections
They never fade or go away.
I wish I could turn back the clock.
And change the things that have blinded me,
But, as time passes, so must I.
And let go of the agonizing falsehood.
I’ll apply everything I’ve learned in the past.
Finally, utilize them as a guide.
To create a promising future,
and live a life filled with brightness.
But the anguish will not go away.
and it will have a place in my heart.
A remembrance of the life I’ve led,
and the scars that time has left behind.
So I’ll accept the anguish and the hurt.
and you may use it to rebuild and assert.
A life filled with hope and love,
and leave the past behind.
