"Conflicting memories, like black and white."
Profile avatar image for AmericanOracle
AmericanOracle in Poetry & Free Verse

Don’t let your past consume you

Conflicting memories, like black and white,

try to tell what's wrong, what's right,

slipping needle, slip in my bed,

try to flush you from my head

Could blame her, could blame you,

everything I've tried to do,

tried forgetting, even though,

I've never tried letting go,

Steal my youth and bruise my soul,

I take on another role,

pain may live and love might die

but I won't know until I try.
