Poetry: My painful past

Tired and hurt by their deceiving
I had given up believing
in a Mister Right for me
I faced a lonely destiny

But then you opened up my mind
you were more genuine and kind
we seemed to get along so well
and without warning, in I fell

We've been together for a while
and though you always make me smile
I now feel you're deceiving too
at times your words just don't ring true

Am I imagining it all
as I lay scared behind this wall?
Are ghosts of old still haunting me
creating untold misery?

Past loves have left me less than whole
a skeptical and timid soul
unable to escape the wrath
of memories that block my path

I do want to believe in us
and I know I sometimes make a fuss
of little unimportant things
and of the pain and grief it brings

My hope is that you'll understand
and take me gently by the hand
to reaffirm and reassure
I need not worry any more

Lost and confused as I may be
I'm asking, please don't give up on me

    as debris laid asunder,

    or it piles before me

    an obstacle I get round

    Each family has a legacy
    of tales to unfold.
    We only pass this way one time,
    the stories must be told.

    It won't go away

    That's not how it works

    It's not that simple

    There is no way to explain

    It comes and goes

    But the fear and pain
