In the Backstreets of My Mind Where Cobwebs Live

In the backstreets of my mind where cobwebs live, from time to time. I need to dust the cobwebs from past hurts off, and send them on their way. I need to dust the cobwebs from past pain off, and say, good riddance to you this day. I need to dust the cobwebs from the unforgiven off, and say, I will not play with you again. I need to dust the cobwebs from rudeness off, and say, you be gone and stay away. I need to dust the cobwebs from cutting words off, and say, you can not hurt me any more. As I dust the cobwebs off from the old, seems like more are moving in each day. My mind is filled with cobwebs, maybe I need to call a cleaning service.
