Cold Shower From The Past
Suddenly your cool fresh voice
Splashes on my psyche's core
It wakes thoughts of inadequacies
Brings them back to life once more.
Well remembered in a flash
Is the sense of futile choice
Brought alive instantaneously
By the cold douche of your voice
And the shivers pebble fast
Texturing my screaming skin
The thick towel of forgetfulness
Roughly lets reasoning in.
Now present prevails once more
I'm clothed in the here and now
And prepared to face you, hurtful man
With the grace strength can endow.
