Those people I abandoned
I left relationships open-ended, I didn't see it last
I know I burned the bridges
I tell myself what has happened is dead, I must not return
These people caused me misery
Or maybe it was just me drowning in my own pity
Sometimes I want to talk to them again
But I understand I have to leave the history dead
Something has to end
Everything I have said and will say doesn't matter
I must not open healed wounds again
I must not let them break my heart once more
Letting them in my life could be a misery
Sometimes I think of them again
Sometimes I want to talk to them
It doesn't matter if they were good or bad
I should leave the past be
I will not open my healed wounds anymore
I've changed I won't talk to you this time
To move on is to also accept my own mistakes
I left the bridges burned but with endings
From the ashes, I will not revive
What shouldn't be alive
I rose from the ashes I burned myself in
The noose hanging tight on my neck
I had to cut it loose
I had to choose between them and I
If I wanted to survive
No matter what you say
I believe this is the correct way
Let the times stay buried! Never return!
I need to stop relieving the dark times
Remembering all those lies
I know there was also light in the dark
Good people in my life I ignored
I lived in what's been with a negative mind
Some relationships were unlocked
I ghosted some, but I never answered
The panic, the fear, I had to run away
I needed to run to escape my darkest days
If there's too much bad than good
Not even staying will help you
You need to escape, get out
Don't revive the past
Don't relive what's already buried
Do not revive
What shouldn't be alive
Let the past be dead!

PoetryThe red blood of what we fought, the tears and the hard work crumbled apart, and the ashes of rebirth. Red rose, the love and passion, and the black crows of freedom and change, we had to break apart and transform, to become who we are today. And th...
