Melancholy memories,
Bittersweet thoughts.
These things running through my head,
They worry me sometimes.
I try to forget sad things from the past,
But these melancholy memories return,
From the back of my mind they come
Like a bittersweet torrent.
Everytime I think I've gotten beeyond them,
something shows baxcck up
Releasing the flood of melancholy memories
It's bittersweet,
Like the taste in my mouth
Can I ever truly be rid of it?
I don't know for sure...
I can be strong, I have been strong,
And thought I had finally rid my heart
Of the aches of the past
But every now and again
Something will trigger
That melancholy memory
and release the bittersweet thoughts.
The past is no longer part of my life
But why do I dwell on it sometimes?
Have I truly moved on if these flashbacks
Keep coming back?
Have I really forgotten the pain
Caused by these past figures?
Where do I rid myself
Of the taste
Of the melancholy memories
And bittersweet thoughts.
I'm learning now how to do that.
Supressing the melancholy memories
Isn't easy...
But being with one who truly loves me..
Makes it so much easier..
Because I know that He's here now
And the melancholy memories are just that-
Memories.
