Revisited

Whenever it wants

the past can tear down my doors

Continually haunts

stirring the dust on the floor

Trying to reclaim the power it held

reasserting presumptions, re-ringing those bells

*

I tell it to get lost

but it clings tightly to my bones

Makes me exhausted

dispersing its clones

Just when I think I've got it under control

another pops up suffocating my soul

**

Can you help me Mr. Clean

please bring with you some Bounty

I need that quicker picker upper

to come set me free

I've tried to ignore it

hoping it'll just go away

But it's as stubborn as shit

I need it to amscray!

*

So, if there's a home remedy

to combat the past

Please send it to me

whatever way, make it fast

UPS or Fedex

doesn't matter at all

Show me your flex

making it go AWOL
