The Past

© Anne-Marie Brzezinski (2012)

There’s something deep inside you
That seems to weigh you down
A memory so painful
That you let your poor heart drown

The past can be a lesson
We live, we learn, we grow
The past can be an anchor
That holds us deep below
      We can’t move one step forward
      Until we let it go

Your eyes appear so vacant
The truth, you can’t deny
Where must I go to find you?
You are lost in time gone by

The past can be a beacon -
A light we use to guide
The past can be a shadow - 
A darkness where we hide
     We can’t shine in the present
     Until it’s pushed aside

Please know that I am with you
Don’t know how long I’ll last
You just can’t feel the present
When you hold on to the past
