GRAVES & ASHES

I'm wasting time and energy

feeling anything more than nothing

towards you.

I'm only hurting myself

allowing your actions

to control me.

Who are you?

Someone important?

No, that's who you used to be.

My eyes need to see beyond yesterday

so that I can see today

for the blessing it truly is.

I'm going to put down my weaponry now,

at least I want to.

Am I done wasting time?

Or is this me acknowledging

the fact that I'm still not strong enough

to walk away from the battle feild

and all its graves and ashes?
