Sharing the Past
old haunts reach out
unexpectedly
cold clammy fingers
from the depths of the sea
leaping to life
suddenly freed
wrap around the heart
bringing to our knees
Ohhhh lover hold me
sweet baby console me
the past hangs heavily
wounds thought healed remain
clutching without mercy
still tear at the brain
the mind
the soul
swirling, churning
beyond time's control
kicked hard in the gut
Ohhhhh god
those memories
visceral
wrenching
countless roads
not taken
doors closed
rely on me
on you
on us
sharing all
demanding
yielding and strong
joined
we belong
rocked by
sweet song
one
to the other
sister
mother
friend
lover
