Dredging up the Past

By Spyral

Why must you dig up the past,
why can't you focus on the future?
The wounds were almost healed,
untill you ripped the scabs off

It's been five months
five months since you stabbed me through the heart

After all the healing
It's all been dug up again

The pain still lives
the pain will always live
Just as my judgement will always falter
All that i've lost will never fully return

I'll never forget
The memories will never fade away
I'll still see your face
As it haunts me every night

Even in the depest of sleep
Contentment won't reach me
I can't believe all bullshit you told me
is it possible to bleed this much?

I can't escape this pain,
No matter where i run
My mind betrays me with memories
And my body betrays me with feelings

I wish i could get you out of my head.
I wish i could forget how your hands felt
Its been five months
And all that i lost will never return

    This is a really good thing, and it's relatable to anyone with a breakup.
