A past so near, yet so far away
Like that dream that eludes me
At the start of a new day
Try to hang on, remember the dream!
But it just fades into blackness,
and makes my soul SCREAM.
Enough with the agony!
What’s past is past
I’ve done what I can,
Enough time has passed.
The fear of letting go
That fear consumes me so
Tears me apart,
Mind, body and soul
If I could just hang on,
Keep the faith strong,
Won’t it bring back the past
In glory and splendor vast?
But what if the past, can’t ever be retrieved?
What’s past is past, and it’s time to grieve.
Grieve for the loss that my heart’s to endure,
Move on and accept that there is no cure.
Be strong and not brave,
For brave is a soul
Who turns a blind eye,
And hides from the truth.
Be strong and stand tall
For strong is this soul
Strong enough
For letting go.
