t.h.e.p.a.s.t

the past.
its a scary place.
a place that people never want to relive.
a place where their fears are revealed.
a place that everyone trys to get away from.

there is healing in our past.
healing in the mistakes we have made.
the fact that we move on,
and learn to see the truth that came out of the past.
to see the fact that we are no longer in the past.

the past is supposed to be forgotten.
the past is supposed to be yesterday's problem.
but somehow you still haunt me everyday.
your fragrance.
your touch.
your soft words.
your ability to make me smile like no one else.
your security.
everything i know is in you.

as i try to break free of you..
everytime i get a sign or a message that says you still want me.
but.... Today that is over.

im tired of being hurt.
tired of being used.
tired of being second best.
tired of being humiliated.
tired of my emotions being displayed with nothing to take from it.

you are my past.
you are yesterday's problem.

I will never forget you.
but i will learn from the hurt, pain, and fear you caused me.

YOU ARE MY PAST
