Dark secrets

You tell me you hate me, you wish our past never happened.
What shouldn't have happened had happened, we are both at fault.
Now we see each other for what we really are.


I go through life without our past reflecting through my words and actions.
You go through life without letting go of our past, but you are learning to,
And in doing so, you slowly release the bottled up pain through your own means.


We try and get along as friends.  But whenever we are around each other, we fight.
I say one thing, you shout another, back and forth until one leaves, crying or not.
We both had something in common, we shared a common escape of bottled up pain.


I promised to stop, to find another way to release the pain and misery, safely.
You won't promise for you are too stubborn and reliant on that escape.
Now you see why we can't get along?  You and your dark secrets, me and my clarity.


We fight and fight, never stop.  Nothing will ever be the same, even if you want it to
I'm happy now, I moved on from what never should have happened, found my life again
With her, I can live again, I can love again and truly mean it back and forth.
