Time takes time

By letitbe

We sit here trying,
Fighting,
Wishing,
Hoping
That the mess of yesterday will clean itself
The blood will no longer stain the carpet
And that the time apart will blend
into memories of how we are here, now
But it wasn't so simple to forget
It's harder to move on past the deception
The past is the past
But the mind remembers
What the heart forgets
And its harder to go through
the same moments we were apart, together now
Because I remember you chose her
You left me,
and the scars I have are still showing through.
