Lingering Shadows

The past,
Reoccurring and repetitive
A sense of no control
As history repeats itself,
An endless cycle,
Continuously
Falling deep into an eternal pit
Memories irk and trouble the mind

Like a shadow
Consistently trailing behind
Lingering close by
Never able to be shaken off

Never learning fully from the past
Remembering what was then
Reminiscing about what could have been
Yet unable to fix the problem
Wanting to change
Wishing for difference
To put a stop to the never ending sequence

Thoughts flash by
Years before
Actions past
The former you
A part of you forever
Part of your being
Your soul
Your heart
Your mind

Grasping and latching on,
Haunting you
Never able to fully let go
But one needs to learn
Then move on
The past has gone

But always able to resurface
So discover and be prepared
Do not let your nightmares of the past
Haunt the days of your present
And affect the times of your future
