In Two

In Two
Torn in two
into
my past
the present
Memories have me trapped
The present has me torn
I move forward only to see the past
in front of me.
I sit comfortably in the present
and feel the past haunting me
Torn by two
In two directions
Guilt stricken because I cannot forget
Stuck in the present
because I have regret
Only to see that my future is ahead
of me
But I cannot escape my past
or even ove through the present
In two
Into directions
