Healing past hurts

It is deep and dark
A smoldering wound
Red hot anger
Simmering
The hurt
That they caused me
And I bring down on myself
Hot tears of self reproach
What salve will sooth this wound
Heal this deep hurt
Learning the lesson that pain teaches
Right now they still smart
Of self recrimination
Consoling through wisdom of perspective
Telling myself things between us just didn’t work out
Or simple time
Soothing the wound by looking at it
Only from time to time
And just letting it be
That over time is slowly changes
