"Echoes"

You cower.
Duck behind the same tired lines and worn out signs.
You'd rather repeatedly hit rewind.
Relive the mistakes, the hurt, echoed pain.
Not live in the now, let's have history again.
And while you're hesitating, behind the shadows we were,
Confidence wavering, heart beats unsure.
As much as I loved you, let's even the score.
I can't honestly say that I'm yours anymore.

Shwhew! That's some hard-edged words.

Thank you! Unfortunately, most of my work comes from pain.

I found my way out of that place of pain, beyond the gates of a poisoned past. Poetry helped. I hope you find your way beyond those gates.
