A piece of my past

"After time passes it'll hurt less" 
But it never did 

"Just forget it, it was so long ago"
But you told me always to remember 

And each and every day 
A little reminder in my eyes 
A little piece of my past 
Glows bright 
Following me 
Seeking me 
As if I can't break away from it 
And that is all that I am 

And time has passed 
Years have gone by 
But that little piece of my past 
Still stays bright

  • The dog at the end

    There’s a dog that sits on the end of my street—

    he barks at anyone that nears,

    snarling teeth that glow shiny in the afternoon light.

  • I am not

    I am not a poet 
    I don’t know how to use my words the way they can
    I can’t captivate the minds of my friends by stringing them along with the simplest of words 

    I am not a musician
