Will it go round in circles?
An ear worm made me ponder
Will it go round in circles?
That’s what I want to know
Once you’ve burnt that bridge
Left that thing alone
Can it be revisited
Should it be
After all the players
Have changed their game, if not completely
Then by enough
To be unrecognisable?
Nothing like the one you thought you knew
Are you still curious?
Should you poke that bear
Or if you’re honest, do you no longer care?
It’s probably the latter
If you’re frank with yourself
But …
the former destroyer of your comfort
Lived rent free in your mind
For longer than they should
And because of that
Is like no one else you know
Can you, will you
Changed as you are
Meet the changed human
That they undoubtedly are
(As are you )
Can you connect with this version anew?
Will it go round in circles?

This resonated with me on a deep level. For me, the answer is no, no circles, no revisiting, when I'm done, I'm done. Excellent poem and it captures the push-pull between reconnecting and leaving it alone.
