Just one more time



Just one more time
Why does a conversation 
That starts as light 
Move to a direction unknown
Yet familiar
I try to fade it 
Want to erase it
Yet it comes back 
Time and again
Recalling the past 
Bringing in the pain 
Flood gates open
Memories that hurt
Scrape the surface 
To expose the wound
They say forget and move on
If it were so easy I would!
Do I need the pain?
Should I wince in aches?
The cringe and the whines
Are a gift of life gone by
They are best avoided yet are dear
Coz they help me to understand 
Never hurt anyone 
Never do the same 
Helps me become a better being 
Stronger they say
But at the end I still remain
Tender and human 
Covered up with all the scabs
Waiting to be scraped 
Just one more time.
