Monkeying Around Medieval
Monkeying Around Medieval
I run from the bygones
As if they never existed
But here I am again, eye in eye
With those rare moments of vulnerabilities
Where holding on to a sorrow
Has become a herculean task.
So, instead, I show it off
With a laugh wide open,
And my teeth exude my plight...
The past, precisely ancient...
Looks at me dumb,
For breaking the conventionalism
Of greeting his age old reminiscence
With tears of regrets,
And resting my head on his shoulder.
Instead, I welcome him with a chuckle this time
I tell him a joke, about him
And he's pissed.
Tired, he falls silent
After a long chatter about painful encounters
And troubled memories.
So, I let him rest his head
Until he falls asleep
Alongside the chip on my shoulder
That he gifted to my present.
Long overdue,
It's time to put him back in the cage!
