i wish you were telling the truth about not being able to lie to me

if only you couldn't make up obvious lies about little things.... i wouldn't be so scared of the bigger less obvious ones...

The Past

I tried to let bygones be bygones.

I tried to tell myself it was so long ago.

I tried to put the distant memory

of your cold hands touching my body

within the depths of my mind.

I tell myself the remembrance of you stems from pain—

the history we share is not a pleasing one.

You took a part of me that wasn’t yours.

You forced your way with me in the worst way.

I am trying to let bygones be bygones.

I refuse to let the memoir of your betrayal

be a part of my story.

With all that I am, I’m trying

to let bygones be bygones—

I just can’t stop blaming myself.
