Out of the blue Flickering screen His name appears This man from my past Hands trembling Taking a deep breath I open his message But in my mind I hear his voice In the time that it takes For the message to load The months disappear The past is new again Feelings that were buried Become achingly alive again Tears streaming As I read his words Why after all this time Does he contact me Ripping open the wounds I have long tried to heal As if looking from afar I see my fingers typing a response My mind crying to stop My heart refusing to yield I open the door That should remain closed. When heartache knocks Why must I welcome it in |
