7-16-09 Finding The Better Me
© 2009 Scottie Allman

I’ve tried all this time,
To mend us when we fell,
Onto rocky shores of broken lives,
With sadness we did fail.

But pictures of you everywhere I looked,
Brought new pain everyday.
Now I see there is no use,
To dwell there anymore.

My future is to change inside,
To find a better me.
To walk that path and start to heal,
Alone within the pain.

The first thing to be done,
Cast off my thoughts of you,
That we were meant to be.
We didn’t happen – it never was,
Is that what I have to do?

After that there is a mystery,
As to the next step I should take,
On my journey away from her,
And the future that I will make.
