Quandry

Once again my old friend and confidant that made brief appearance into my life again.

Confused doesn't do justice today

To how I feel about this all today

Years past without barely a word

Suddenly talking like days of old

Comfortable where I am in life

Though emotions are stirred

Where have the years gone to?

Why me of all people at this time?

Upon your shoulder I once was

Questioning life, love, time, and such

Questions now race in my mind again

Colliding into flashes of carnage unseen

Tangled thoughts and emotions lay

Strewn about to be picked apart

Recesses of my mind open again

Contemplating if doors should even be opened

Trust of you not an issue with me

Nor out stance as good friends

Yet guarded I will stay for a time

Trying still to be a good friend

Curious as to your place in life

Where we do indeed stand

Emotions, thoughts, intentions abound

Maybe answers I don't want to hear

After all these years abroad

Or even in my backyard

To keep the quandary afloat

Or to dig deeper at what lies beneath
