What I Wish I Could Unknow

I wish to forget what led me to this beautiful promise within.

But every time I feel my wishes weave into my life. 

I feel a fluttering of that horrible place.

And my sorrow tries to trail ahead. 

I must learn to treasure those hopeless days. 

That corrupted my instinct. 

If I had to testify…

I would reenter a void. 

Like the flood of shadows in the night.
