move on

A muffled cry, heavy ticking of a clock nearby
I try to get away, run as fast as I can
my heart pounding, drenched in sweat
a flash of light and I fall endlessly into darkness
I open my eyes only to realize
it was just a dream
the moonlight pours in
I sit up in the silence and wonder
why don’t some wounds ever heal?
why do we have to live it over and over again?
times have changed, so have I
but the scars of yore stay
like a constant reminder
will I ever be able to forget?
the prospect of anything new scares me
what if it too falls apart?
will I ever put behind everything?
will I ever move on?
