The Forgotten Past


Stories of forgotten pasts,
a tale forever unfinished,
was it a lie I told myself
just to believe that I couldn’t?
To save myself the pain,
the undisputable knowledge
I am breaking myself on you.

I never even asked you,
not once how you felt,
because the fear crippled;
even with that one thought
that you might feel the same,
the self hate controlling my world
would plummet into confusion.

How could you not see
the words that my eyes
were mouthing in desperation,
as I gazed into yours?
Sitting there in silence,
with all I wanted to say
stammering within my heart.

I wish I had known then
that which is inescapable now:
I cannot find any freedom,
with every waking thought,
everything about you
will continue to haunt me
for the rest of my life.

And I never did tell her either. Oh well, was 16 years ago now and things worked out with someone else anyways.

    Wow, this is really heart breaking and sad. I can feel the pain and sorrow within this piece. I can relate to this pain. Even if I am so young. I can understand your pain. I liked someone as well and I didn't tell them how I felt so I lost my chance with them. It did made me sad when I found out that they were with someone else. But I'm past that. anyway I really enjoyed reading this. It was very touching and brave of you to show this personal life of yours or apart of it. I am glad you have someone else now. ^^ thanks so much for entering. much love and blessing
