Keeps Coming Back

I know I should let things go,
But it's easier said than done.
The past always has a way of coming back.
You can lock it up and throw it into the Mariana Trench,
It'll still find its way back to you.
The past keeps me awake at night,
And it keeps force feeding me memories which I want to forget.
I want to let it go,
And I want it to let me go.
I'm so tired and I can't find peace.
My whole being is aching,
Both externally and internally.
It takes so much of my energy,
That I can't go on anymore.
It hurts and it's heartbreaking.
Even though I've got so many people who love me,
I am still in anguish and sinking deep into a sorrowful abyss.
I'm trying and I've tried hard,
Maybe I shouldn't have even tried in the first place...
