PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

The past memories come back around,

The guilty conscience to which I am tragically bound.

I think twice before anything I do,

But then I do without thinking for you.

I break your heart I break your trust,

Eyes water and turn to rust,

Heart burns and turns to dust.

Now I’ve been locked away,

Kept safe for a rainy day.

Locked so tight I can’t break free,

Stuck stranded behind lock and key,

Waiting so patiently for someone to release me.

I burn with anger and invisible sadness,

Which I disguise so well with madness.

My violence reins supreme,

Like the beast just released from the cage I scream.

Screams that turn into a roar as raindrops hit the floor,

With no clouds I realize the hate turned inward and the tears start to pour.

Crashing down I finally see that I am now free,

There is no more hate inside of me.

Sight for sore eyes I finally see your face,

Erasing all of my horrid memories of this place.

I try to say sorry but you don’t let me speak,

In the saddening silence I feel my knees grow weak.

Please just let me say what I need to say,

Then if you would like I will go away.

I said I was fine but I lied,

I will tell you of the hate I held inside.

The fires inside that nearly burnt me alive,

How your face in my mind gave me the will to survive.

After all this time my penance has been paid,

No longer in debt for the mistakes I have made.

It seems I’ve been made for so damn long,

It seems the hate has subsided but it’s not entirely gone.

I write a new chapter in the same old book,

Same old face with a brand new look.

An end to a night when the moon fades away,

Takes us to the sunrise of a brand new day.
