I fell silent, holding back tears

years of resentment came flooding to the surface of

nightmares lived out so long ago.

Fresh in mind but old in spirit

they cling to my soul like a babe to it's mother

demanding my attention,

searching for affection,

neglecting the infection that has gripped me for so long.

The emotions come like tidal waves

taking my breath away.

How can something from so long ago

Hurt still so much today?

I vowed to forgive but can't seem to forget

all the misery and pain

of my life's regrets.

I fell silent, holding back the tears

with the realization that I still love you

and my heart is broken in two

never to be the same again.
