The Past


Unwelcome interruption 

from an old friend

creeps in

deludes thought

with a subtle sadness

drip 

drip

drip

the swelling

of feeling

push and pull

resist

still it lingers

ache for forgiveness

yearn for difference

try for another day

as you gently persuade the past

to remove it’s careless kiss
