How can it seem that you can control me?
My thoughts,
My feelings,
Everything?
The more I pull away,
The more you want me back,
Sometimes it seems it is just for laughs.
I don't know how or why you do it,
I just know I cannot make it through it without you.
I can not help but stare,
The way you look at me can not compare,
It just gets me through the simple things that life brings.
When I try to forget you come in forgotten places,
It runs across my mind in a sad sort of way.
I want to forget and move on in my life,
But you're holding me hostage in the sands of time.
I want to go away and be free,
Kind of like an angel with wings.
You are the past, let it stay that way.
I do not love you anymore,
You are not for me,
Just breathe
It is simple you see.
I am no longer present,
It is just you and your old memories of me.

A Few Moments More
You’ll give it one more minute, and then you’re headed back inside. It’s pretty chilly out, after all. Not that that’s a real issue - you’ve stood out here for longer, and in colder weather. The snow is nearly gone already; tiny, dirt-stained islands of the stuff form a shrinking archipelago dotting the sea of green that is your backyard. Striations of sunlight dance through the trees at the edge of the woods and paint the scene in a camouflage of brown, green, and gold.
