why now
thought I'd moved forward
left all the yesterdays
where they belong
but unfinished business
called today and threw me back
into a whirlpool of emotions
can I close those doors
where eddies full of anger
spin constant
shut out hands of pain
that twist a heart
til it can sob no more
perhaps tomorrow will bring
clarity to a mind that now
suffocates in a mire of regret
a mire -
full of words unspoken
