Retroactive jealousy


Chains tighten on my feet I'm stuck at this same place Your past grinds against my bones Disgust fills my throat I look at you with hatred For you are the only thing I love So how could you fill me with such resentment? You two still speak And I never left my insecurities The mistakes of before Tears me apart I don't want to portray others on to you But each of you look the same Through these shattered glasses My past is distorted with the present Maybe it's time to let go
