Old familiar faces rise up
Like ghosts from the past
To rattle my defenses
In an effort to get
My complete attention.
Time has given me
A different perspective
On pain that lasted,
It seemed like forever,
In the center of my heart.
I am still empty in places
Where love once grew,
And trust is hard to find
In the corners of my
once shattered mind.
Time has given me
The courage I need,
To heal from these tears,
And not repeat old ways
Of acting and feeling.
Lessons I have learned
From the scars I wear,
Keep me on my path,
And help me create
Walls to keep you out.
