Residue

residues of the past..
evidence for the future..
pain in the now..
in denial..
self inflicted..
letting go..
moving on..
standing still..

from time to time i see myself like this..
half asleep..
half conscious..
healing takes time..
forgetting may just be a word..
forgetting may be a never-ending process..
ending only when the heart stops pumping..

just me..
something personal..
a moment no other person can capture or recapture..
only me..

a moment with myself, sometimes, is just so comforting..
