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.
