Slip Again

She is in charge of her body but her mind is fighting her tooth and nail.
She has her own outlook on life but a force inside keeps saying stop. 
Wild and carefree is her new image.
Yet the old self filled with righteousness is trying to take over.
New love has allowed her new flame to ignite.
Yet the old love wants her to return to the past.
He keeps bringing up memories of what their life was like.
And while she has fought off his attempts, a little bit her slips into the past.
Hanging onto her new lover's hand, she hears him tell her that nothing will 
separate them.
Alone at night she wonders how long she can hold on.
Suddenly her old self appears telling her she won't win.
Emotionally she cries out and banishes her old self.
Can she hold on or will she slip again?
