recurring many years now gone by she’d left without a word at a little all night café a door opening heard in walked an old friend I’d loved without condition like a hallucination a dark haunting vision the rain she brought in fell soft on the floor she moved to a table not far from the door the return of the past like a fast moving storm in a small restaurant familiar and warm her eyes raised and stared directly at me how familiar the pain and would always be unable to move I just looked away its only a dream is all I could say then awaking I found the clock by the bed again 3am flashing in red a long distant thunder like an echo from the past these recurring dreams of you how long will they last |

Well put, this condition I'm sure we have all experienced. Poignant verse, well done. |

Beautifully rendered heartache! It will last as long as you allow it to last. It is painful to live with past emotions that will come up continuously, also in nightly dreams, until you release the pain and live in the NOW, where new opportunities to love are right there, but you don't seize them, because your heart is still locked. Love, Margherita |
