Days long gone

Time gone.
And every time the past comes to the present,
I can feel the present being wasted again.
That past is cemented in the deep caravans of the earths core.
There is nothing that can be done with days long gone.

Time alone.
In the midst of time it stands alone.
Unstoppable. Unforgiving.
I just need a single moment to allow the past pain to heal.
But you push me forward as if my pain is irrelevant.
There is nothing that can be done with days long gone.

Time free.
Never once paid for you, but you are constantly in my life.
Each day I become more indebted yet I never even asked for you.
I need freedom. You’ve held me too long.
There is nothing that can be done with days long gone.

Time bound.
I cannot find peace.
You hold me so tightly I cannot see my next step.
And I struggle to even believe.
Why do you command my life so strongly.
Why cannot I just be I.
There is nothing that can be done with days long gone.
