"Fallen Angel" copyright Clyde Caldwell

Past, Future, and Present

Your past haunts you like the plague
Killing you from the inside-out
Just a piece at a time.
The time that you shared with me
Wasn't enough to forget that very past.
You always told me that was so.

Foolishly, I believed you.
I was a part of your future.
But whatever it was
That came between us,
You couldn't leave it in the past.

Fiesty
