It seems as if my past is here to stay, <br />I suffer every day, <br />But it seems there’s no other way, <br /> <br />I thought since it was done my past was gone, <br />I did wrong, <br />And now I know it’s still standing so strong, <br /> <br />You still phase it, with emphasis so gold, <br />It was old, <br />But your actions say differently than what you are told, <br /> <br />My past is beating me with no future at the end, <br />I’m starting to bend, <br />All I needed was you, my best friend, <br /> <br />It turns out that is was all a lie, <br />Why do I try? <br />Even when we’re unable to compromise, <br /> <br />I should’ve seen it by the look in your eyes, <br />That my past still cries, <br />The vengeance in all the honesty and lies, <br /> <br />Because of it, I suffer so greatly, <br />You act as if you hate me, <br />And day by day I hold on with a maybe, <br /> <br />Maybe you have forgiven, to start new, <br />But it’s never true, <br />Now I’m lost, there’s nothing I can do, <br /> <br />So what is it I have left? <br />This last breath, <br />And I’m taking it until my death.<br /><br />Joshua Hillard<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/past-vengeance/
