Don't rear your head back

let it go

in this chill and cold

don't rear your head back

and remind me of the warmth we once were

let it go

in this aloneness

don't rear your head back

and remind me of the great company you used to be

in this sadness that is

don't rear your head back

and make me revisit the happiness that once abound

in this joy unspeakable that now is

don't rear your head back

and remind me you used to be a part of it

in this togetherness that am now becoming

don't rear your head back

and threaten it

let it go

let it rest

return not

remind me not

fare thee well

and just let it go

because I will not relive the past

so let it go

If only one could turn and walk away without looking back. Its harder when you have detox and are getting ready to move on then someone wants back in. The grace and strength to say NO and keep walking is what i pray for you.

thank you for your powerful words. thank you for sharing. sometimes the sharing is so difficult but it is so important so we know we are not alone and maybe also so you know you are not alone.

this is the beauty of writing. being able to put in words the things we all can feel, and then even the non-writing population of this world can identify and have their feelings 'expressed'. i like your poetry, thanx.
