Reduced to nothing,
but handfuls
of dust,
and broken memories.
Trapped in this torture,
I beg for freedom.
Please forgive me,
and let me glide away into the sunset.
- I can't progress into the future,
until I release myself from the past...

Releasing the past is difficult, yet necessary... still.. the demons fight their way back in every now and then!
Thank you for this stirring and strong write!
