A New Day

And so the saying goes,
'I've been hurt so no longer will I feel,'
I'm sad to say, for me,
This statement is not real,
I wish I could close my heart,
To all of this hurt and pain,
But somehow I can't let go,
It circulates through my veins,
Every morning when I wake,
I think maybe today is the day,
That there memories wont seem so bad,
And the pain will fade away,
But as the day passes by,
And the dusk creeps in,
I know it's just a matter of time,
Not 'if' but 'when',
When will these memories,
Come back to haunt my mind?
When does it get better?
Because for me, it isn't with time,
I know I'll never forget,
But when will I move on?
When is going to be the day,
I can say 'the battle is finally won?'
Because you see my memories affect,
The things I try to do,
Even the most simple of things,
I seem to misconstrue,
All that I'm asking for,
Is my past to remain the past,
That glistening tear on my cheek,
Please let it be the last,
Because today is a new day,
And I want to live it in the present,
No looking back, no regrets,
Today, I'm ending this torment.
