And I remember everything
Everything I loved
I threw it all away because
Well, it just wasn’t enough
My sick and twisted mentality
Brought me to my knees
To my knees I fell nervously
O God, I was begging please
This heart of mine I silenced
Silencing everything I loved
Pain to overwhelming to cure
Never thought I was enough
And memories of yesteryear
Yesteryear I loathed
Time became my enemy
But I allowed it to do so
To the future I must embrace
The past will soon let me be
I gaze ahead to where moments await
It awaits moments for you and me

Michael Barney:
Well written and expressed. Thoughts and feelings of past regrets and hope for the future.
Gave it an "I Like It" vote. Most deserved
Noticed a word with a different spelling and meaning than that which, I think, you intended. Word to be replaced is in parentheses "()".
"But I (aloud) allowed it to do so"
Happy trails,
Ed Bradley.
