Why now
do you climb inside my head and make me miss you
demanding my attention
the way in which you did when you were here
A needy soul who craved all of my devotion
returning more than two fold all the love
Why are you here —
delving into that which i believed had quietened
your memory: my solitude of fears fearing now a scream
For five years passed and yet i feel your warmth
as braw as when your four paws paced upon my heart
Am i still grieving —
or am i now the needy one who craves your souls existence
to curl inside my head and calm my troubled mind?
Fears lie me tired upon this ocean of my worries:
do you now sense how sadly fallible i am?
How time may well have found me
just as time found you and laid you like a stone
upon this earth to sleep?
It scares me —
and i am by far too scared to simply know the truth.
