It might knock on your door


Past haunts and stalks us
it peeps now and it will peep then
It will come knocking on your door
and you'll run to it again
with mind frozen and heart enthralled

You will try to resist yourself
It is difficult as you'll then recall
what you cannot really erase from you
and has really made you who you are
but you will be squashed in your two faces

But then living in your past makes you sad
both expressively and as a person
and you'll try to look forward to a vivid fresh face
that makes you up and dresses you up
in a more assiduous way

You might seek for its traces in the new face
and replacements in a new grace
but faces are never the same again
even they are squashed between their two sides

You can sense your past in your heart
but it's gone farther than you assume
Just before you felt it by your side
It was gone on a path far and wide
