To bad I cant go back
By Cherry Bear
I stood there alone
unwilling and afraid
my heart
pounded so
I couldn't hear a thing
Though my skin
trembled
I never moved a step
how could it be
It should have been me instead
Did they take the wrong
one
steal the wrong breath
hang the wrong dog
all for my stupid mistakes
how can I repent
my sins have been wiped clean
or does that blood at to the
stain
cant erase a memory
or change a wronged past
I can offer you my apologies
perhaps a calming hand
nothing more
nothing less
now just a bad
image
a moment of regret

:( I'm sorry. The past is the past and can't be forgotten. But it can be forgiven. And when old hurts pop up...suddenly and unexpected just know that the pain is only residual, lacking any fuel (anger, blame, resentment....bitterness). And I think this is true for both of us. Bubbles will likely be surfacing for years to come...but they will always pop before they get to big and imposing. This is a beautiful poem, and I'm sorry you were inspired to write it. A human beings true novelty of soul is that we are never who were were then....and never will be who we are right now again. I love you. You are a warm, kind and sincere person and my world would be only a simple existence had you never entered it. Don't hate on yourself, for the past...I don't.
