the past is forever the past, nothing can be changed about it . it cannot be altered --- the mistakes you've made... are forever your mistakes. the memories that you have of your mistakes will forever haunt your soul --- the small pieces that are left of you --- forever. the scratches, the bruises, the scars you've made, the blood that's been spilled into a pool will flood your mind... drown you from the inside until you have nothing left to lose in life. the despair you feel, the pain that you feel will consume the rest of you, the pieces that you needed to keep. you're forever gone. there's no more of the person you thought you were, the person you wanted to be. you have reaped what you've sowed --- you've planted thorned roses.
