Dreams long buried

I imagined you as the answer to a longing I buried

That you reminded me of

Made me believe in again

Then the path unfolded as it did

Rugs laid out strewn with pleasures

Only be to torn away

Time after time

Summoning up for me

All the pain of love both absent and denied

Keep trusting me

You begged

Even as the shadows grew deeper

And my heart sank ever lower

Revisiting pain I thought long done

So now if I

Close the door

It may take some time

To release all of this

More tears to cry

With the shedding

And this time I will turn a deaf ear

To the advice of others

Trusting only in

The process of my own soul

For if this has taught me anything

It has taught me this

What comes to us

Comes for a reason

Or a season

And only we can work it through

Following the path that fate unravels

When we dared to open the door on dreams

Longing and pain

We buried
