• Did It Again

  "Did It Again"

  by Roger Parker

   

  I did it again.

  I let you creep back into my thoughts,

  At one point I had buried you so deep -

  Resurrection did not seem possible.

  The feeling of sadness was replaced

  With this calming numbness,

  That not even a blade could pierce.

   

  I didn't hate you

  Nor did I love you by any means.

  I became indifferent towards what you meant:

  Your laughter,

  A symbol of our friendship,

  A friendship that had long ago

  Faded into the depths of my mind.

   

  I put away all the pictures of you

  And the box of mementos I held onto

  But then you worked your way back into my thoughts.

  The numbness -

  Once a calming serenity,

  Replaced with feelings of anger

  For knowing you and the time spent together

   

  And for you being in the right place

  At the wrong time,

  A deadly situation for all surrounded.

  The wounds you left upon me

  Slowly healed themselves,

  To my shock,

  And I'm left with the scars of the memories.
