memories came back to haunt
little things that caused smiles
now cause grimaces of pain
time passes the memories faded
the pain went away to a tiny twinge here and there
little things cause smiles again
the heart was sliced and bruised
the hand holding the blade
once touched it so gently
the bruise went away and a new scar is on it
the blade thrown down and away
the hand that hurt it unable to touch it again
time and distance healed the damage
damage that never should have happened
but the past cannot be undone
i could have but you didn't let me
you could have but i didn't let you
now what....
