along the same lines as "tainted"...however, seperate fragments of the same mindset...

----------------------------

we have no past--
i'll not bring it up...

fear has been summoned
and stands guard
over these wounds--
lest you should twist
your blade in them again.

     only love could know
          this pain...

but i'll not be
vulnerable to you--
i'll keep my soul
wrapped up in this shell

for i know now, we have no past--

i mourn the death of it...

a stranger has nothing to gain
and only a friend comes close enough
to ever cause so much pain"    --michael card

dgvarner, this reads so intense---can really feel the tremendous pain and anguish behind it like the last line(i mourn the death of the past)...haunting line to leave this reader with

i use the prayer of serenity to help me get through tough times and i hope it will be of use to you

May God grant me
the serenity to accept
the things i cannot change,
the courage to change things i can
and the wisdom to accept the difference

How very true...reminds me of a line from a song by Sarah McCloughlin "So afraid to love you, more afraid to lose, clinging to past that doesn't let me choose".  I can certainly relate to that feeling.  Your poem is wonderful!

You can never have too much fiction; reality can be such a bore
