so many fish
in the sea
yet
none really interest me
even if someone did
catch my eye
i don’t feel ready
i don’t have the courage yet
to try
again
that stab in the back
may be only a scar
now
but the memory of the wound
is still fresh

Poems for Warriors 
Even memories need to be put to rest, as I’m working on this as well. It’s hard, I know. The past tends to cling, sometimes acting as a parasite there to suck out any vision of the future. We are lost in what we lost, so to speak.
