Haunting Past

My past is filled with slats-
Splintered points of life
That let in the darkness.

I’ve tried so hard to fill in
The gaps of the past,
But there are gaping holes.

I don’t deserve happiness
If I hold onto what’s past
And disregard the future.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Inspired by: “Some people feel like they don't deserve love. They walk away quietly into empty spaces, trying to close the gaps of the past.”
