Lingering, taunting
Drawing you into the abyss
A reminder of days gone by
Of mistakes and heartache
Of joy and happiness

Do you dare look back
Allowing it access
To the ghosts
You have forgotten
And remembered

No, no regrets
Only memories
Deeply seated within
Making you wiser
Bolder, braver
Defining the future
