You say the past is behind me, that
it’s a long ways
away.
But you haven’t had him touch you or
take your life
away.
The past isn’t so far away.
You might say that he didn’t take my
life,
But now there’s only pain and
strife.
The haunting memories are always
there,
And the feelings grow stronger with
each new memory.
It feels like I’m standing on the
edge of a rocky cliff
that’s about to crumble
Hoping that someone will come to
take the pain away.
I beg and I plead for you to protect
me, but you walk
away.
Yanking with you my last thread of
hope.
I do not know how to feel safe
anymore.
The past isn’t so far away.
You don’t feel the anger I possess
inside,
And you won’t ever be able to understand.
Every time I see his face I get so
scared that I want to
hide.
Every time I see him it tears me up
inside.
Not a single day goes by that I
don’t remember,
And I can’t stop asking why.
The past isn’t so far away.
With every heartbeat fear leaps up
from inside,
And with every breath I choke down a
sob.
Every corner I turn I expect to see
him there.
The past isn’t so far away, no
matter what you say.
