Dear Past Beloved, The me of old I'm writing, urging, don't give in Life does have its ups and downs Some you lose and some you win

I write to tell you there is hope As you teeter by your grave Focus on the light ahead That your own soul you might save

I write to you, the younger me Innocent of recent pains Don't seek out the fleeting pleasures Search for longer lasting gains

I write to you and hope that you Won't make the choices that I made That you will never have to live With the choking price I've paid.
