@ signs, #hashtags, and my overly dramatized life.

They follow me, those snakes.

Why is it that pasts are so vital to who we are but so harmful to who we could be?

How is it that they work they way into new beautiful things, wrap themselves around them, and squeeze until their is no sign of life?

Dark, and slithery like snakes we breed in darker parts of our minds.
Eating every last thing we fill ourselves with until the emptiness finds its way home again.
 
 
And them we push, and pull, and fight to untangle all the mangled rubble left over
but all there is, is snakes.
 
Where did that happiness go
Why would they do this
 
Snakes
and old lovers
 
Snakes
and lost chances
 
Snakes
and nostalgia
 
Snakes
and scars
 
Snakes
and pasts
 
Filthy pasts
 Filthy Snakes.
