Edges

Somehow the past remains at the edges
lapping against the mind as waves upon the sand
taking a bit here and a bit there leaving no trace
and yet you feel it there a shadow and a thought
You believe that you’ve moved beyond the past
that regret is not something you live with
but at the edges its cold and icy fingers reach in
and you can barely feel it
You work to stay in the center avoiding the dark edges
keeping the shadows of what was out of the what is
pushing down the memories pushing back on the waves
always reconstructing the wall
The memories they whisper they brush at your mind
each one growing fainter and yet the icy touch still there
time to push back move away towards the center
live as if they don’t exist
Shadows

And lo though I walk through this life with no regret
the shadows they follow me still
the past is gone but unforgotten as yet
it lingers at the corners against my will
And lo though I walk knowing it is better now
the stitches of the wounds remain
to completely erase rewind forget somehow
these things I cannot yet attain
And lo though I walk in love and light
the darkness that once was creeps in and out
even though I resist with all my might
just a little twinge just a little doubt
And lo though I walk renewed and stronger
the shadows remain just out of reach
wishing them gone to be here no longer
but there are still lessons they must teach
Rushing

All the while I thought I had put it all away
the memories of what was left as they lay
with just one look there they came rushing back again
taking my heart back to remember when
So hard I’ve tried to push away at the edges of my soul
slowly piecing back together the parts to make a whole
and rushing back now overwhelmed unable to make them stop
like raindrops of memory drop by drop by drop
Like a river it overtakes me and I can no longer breathe it seems
invading every thought awake even into my dreams
things I thought were long since gone are back just as real
if I could only find a way to no longer feel
Rushing waters of memory wash over my soul as waves upon the sand
battering on every emotion so hard now just to stand
slowly I push back until the water I no longer feel
left once again to wonder what was and wasn’t real
