Holding Hands With My Past

Contributed by pixie on Sunday, 6th February 2005 @ 12:18:46 PM in AEST
Topic: SadPoetry



For too long have I befriended my past,
Allowing it to cause a shadow that lasts,
It haunts me as it knows I am weak,
All around my soul it often creeps.

If I felt strong enough I would’ve left it behind,
As it has ravaged me & not been too kind,
I have made too many excuses I need to breathe,
I have to be strong & force the past to leave.

It is breaking my now brittle bones,
Please past let me now finally be alone,
We share nothing any more,
With you I am about to settle all my scores.

You backed me into a corner now I’ll attack,
I am about to give you some of the hurt back,
I will not risk losing the man I hold in my heart,
For too long have you made beating me into an art.

Fear is what made me hold onto you for so long,
I thought it was so right, yet it is so wrong,
It has all but killed my love & all we built,
I am beginning to cut you out of my patch work quilt.

I set you sailing down my long river,
I need a true friend, not an Indian giver,
No apologies will I lay down for you,
As you sat back & watched as your plague grew.

Super write, Pixie

Bravo! I hear you saying you are going to run your life, rather then you life running you. Buy putting things into perspective, you can de-fang your demons.

Great work

Awesome poem, the past is what usually can get you down. But you can do it.
