Forgotten Words Still Hurt

All the money in the world can’t buy yesterday The shadow cast on days gone by cannot be changed that way Forgotten words still can hurt, their memory to reign We harvest what we sow in crimson fields of pain A tempest borne of dark intent still lingers in the night Even though regret has come and redress brought to light The shore of woe’s forgiveness, an often rocky climb Yet sad and misty days can clear To grace anew in time As long as there is love inside somewhere in one’s heart The shadows cast on days gone by disperse for a new start 4/13/18 Contest: Ten Words Sponsor: Joseph May
