The Past

Hold on
don’t let go
the spinning will stop
just wait
it will slow down
so you can see

Okay now
open your eyes
focus
what is there
do you know
what you’re looking at

Breathe
is it real
something tangible
to hold on to
or is it a past
that you can’t let go of

Are you
wishing things were different
that you could go back
and change
the outcome of your actions
so she was still there

Is there
still blame
are you still hurting
do you
wish she would see the light
and come back to you

It’s over
don’t bother
the past
is just that
there is no hope
to resurrect
what might have been
