Time

I look back at my past memories

and wonder why life must go on

even with mistakes I am unable to undo.

I must live with the added burden

of the faults that I have encountered over the years.

 Days go by too fast

and the nights never end.

These days give me the opportunity to escape

but I am weighed down

and forced to trudge through life

with the unforgettable times gnawing at my feet.

 

One time that preys on my mind

is something I can’t, and will not forget.

He confessed everything

and hid nothing from me

but I was pushing away.

I was so blind

and afraid to accept the truth,

afraid to face the fact that the feelings were true.

I was afraid of loving.

Because of my insecurity,

I let go too soon.

I regret not holding on to my someone.

 

I always encourage myself to keep my positive attitude alive.

Smiling with every gasp of air

and holding onto the moments of bliss.

This is what will keep my heart at ease.

 

Still, I can’t stop these memories from flooding my head.

Why can’t I just erase my past mistakes?

I try not to remember

but it shows me no mercy;

the cruelty of time stings my soul.
