For Old Times' Sake

how dare you
how dare you throw around so carelessly
an idiom you've already broken.
for old times' sake.
in memory of former times; in acknowledgment of a shared past.


there is no past i will admit to sharing with you.
i wanted to cherish the memories
but for as much as i did,
you destroyed them.
you rewrote the past,
declared you had other motivations
and never meant what was said.

you reached into the past,
and turned memories into weapons
accusations
and guilt

how dare you
for old times' sake.
