~The Pain Of The Past~ Voices that return in echo's ... from the distant past, Old wounds that wont heal, pain that lingers and lasts. Whispers turn to whines, crying in the night, Reasons are lost to the questions with no answers in sight. The loss almost overtakes and breaks my will, No release from these moments, time seems to stand still. Childhood memories return, old ghosts calling my name, The demons are now older, but the pain is still the same. Returning for the answers-needing the reasons of why, Remembering the promises broken, lost to living this lie. From the shadows of this pain, I intend to be free, Reclaiming my trust and faith...all the things you took from me. Janet Marie repost from Dark Passions (my home away from home) (smile) ...every moment of every day... your still with me in every way. every poem and song... every rhyme and verse... your still here...like a beautiful curse. janet marie |

I know how it is, Janet, to have the memories just come back like that... I am a disturbed person, and I write about disturbed people. ~Tennessee Williams |

Excellent writing. History has a way of shaping us into what we are. We can never lose the gentle side and the hope of brighter days. |

Good working of the couplets. You can count me as a fan. I like these lines, The loss almost overtakes and breaks my will, No release from these moments, time seems to stand still JML |
