The New You Again

Going 

back is never

an option.

Until one

day you 

wake up

and your

car drives

you to 

your old

exit.

You 

are a ghost

from

the past 

that will not

really

be recognized.

Who I 

was,

who 

you were

are not

one in the same.

That's 

the pain.

The smell

is always

the same.

The nose

never forgets

your

past.

It won't 

betray you.

Your

heart wants

to

because

you are so different

in the right now.

I went

with grace

but

you continued

to take

up space

in my

mind.

But

this 

is what you will find. 

The drive

is a waste of time.

You only

get those 

footsteps once

and your feet 

won't fit 

in them 

again.

So you

must do 

the thing

you have

always done.

Start again

and 

become.

Become

the new 

you,

again.
