This Past Has Passed

Once upon a time
you were my baby girl.
But you are not anymore
and you will never be again.
I offer you no hope
of future possibilities.
Sometimes I may talk to you
to sort out memories of the past.
But feelings of desire no longer
exist within my present thoughts.
There is no you and me together.
Only you and me walking individually.
Surely you have noticed
I do not care what you say or do.
My thoughts shall constantly
remain the same as I know
in my heart we are through.
As for the future of me and you.
Who knows what my future holds.
I know it won't be holding you.

wow SBJ those last lines just slap the reality and emotion across the readers face.
Excellent summation impact...
sad but sincere write...
well done sweet poet sir.

Im searchin for my warrior
walkin the tracks of time
this struggle to seek forgiveness
like chains and shackles...these ghosts of mine

Written in all minor keys indeed. never to give up, who dares to say that to your caring. Only that I hope tomorrow shines a new light for you both.

My humble thanks.
And wishes best.

"The past my prison, confined in solitary voiceless penance."
