Looking for solace

There are days 
when alI hope is lost 
when my body fails me 
my mind wanders into oblivion 
reliving hurtful words 
feeling fresh salt on open wounds 
wishing I could let old dogs lie 
and move on from your clutch 
I pray that one day 
my mind can heal 
and these sad memories 
can be laid to rest
