Note To Self

I re-live yesterday

I watch you slip away.

The pain is still here,

It never disappeared.

Hot like a volcano

Both of us so volatile

We danced around the truth

Until the lies set us free.

Free from destiny

From what we could be

The distance between us

Has grown too much

There’s no going back

To what we had

To what we could be

Living separate lives

Our past has been archived

In the library of love

Another book on the shelf

As another note to self

Hardened by the tears

They soften through the years

The past is the past

There’s no going back
