A Condemned House

There's another world that  
lives in the past sometimes you can  
hear the echo of the pain  
other times you feel it and then  
it's kinda like it was someone else's life
not real, fake and far away
more or less a dream. if anything at all.
 
A ghost without a house to haunt
is hardly a ghost yet when it's in
the mind it becomes a wraith
the past does not go quietly into the
night it lingers until you stop asking
it questions.  
 
That's the hardest part
making up all the scenarios where
closure happens and you keep thinking
then the thinking swallows your now
and bam you're nowhere again
all because you can't let the shit
go and appreciate the future
that was born from a past that only
matters when you become  
an adversary to yourself.


The past is just like a condemned house
there is no need to live there anymore.
