I wish I could take a rag
And wipe away the cobwebs of my past
Use a broom and dustpan
To sweep up fractured moments
Scrub brush in my hand
And I will wash away the painful bits left behind
**
If only cleaning up the past were possible
I could have a fresh start today
Instead the ghosts still coat everything
With the shadows and grime of yesterday

Something most of us wish we could do. But unfortunately, life has no redo button. A beautiful, poignant poem.
Thank you!
You’re welcome my dear friend
If only!
Very powerful piece. It’s a sad reality. We can’t undo what’s happened.
True, thank you!
Back to writing! Nice one Leigha!
Thank you very much!
