    In The Past

    Here I am again
    Alone with the pain
    Here I am alone
    Again

    In my loneliness
    Your memory to my heart I press
    Hoping you can feel my love somehow

    I can't go back and change what is
    Memories are a kind of prison
    It's in the past that you will always be

    So take me back there if you can
    So I can take you by the hand
    And show to you what will never be

    The walks we never had
    The hand I never held
    The love I never shared with you

    "Memories are a kind of prison"... and sometimes the door locks tight... thank you for sharing

    They can be if you let them, right? But still we don't want to forget. It can be difficult to share something this personal. I mean this poem -- It's like I ripped it from my soul, you know? I didn't just think of a subject and write about it. I lived this, it's real.

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
