My Past: Part 1

I close my eyes and in an instant

the moment comes flashing back

We are sitting at the table

when I excuse myself to go to the bathroom

and that's when it starts

Voices getting louder,

so familiar yet so far away

The one person I looked up to

now not even recognizable

Such foul language

Words I never thought I'd hear

especially from him!

This alone causes terrible memories 

from the past 

to start to 

t u m b l e 

f o r w a r d

I guess I will never be able

to get my past to leave me alone
