Dear Past Life Connection,
Don’t get stuck in your head
don’t think
I’d be better off instead…
don’t let the demons get to you
don’t think it’s better if it’s new
I know it doesn’t seem so right
when things get hard & a little tight
but I think good’s worth a little fight
after this dark comes a lot of light
(I promise)
All that I could wish for you
is a cease of suffering, aches, and flu
this love, the wish for happiness so true
and the desire for such joy to remain
with fearlessness, absent any pain
and a healthy, happy, stable mind
a loving heart and neighbours kind
Don’t despair, my humble friend
for we’re at beginning, not the end
do not worry, do not hasten
it’s only our drive, our pulses racing
Let’s enjoy the lust, the draw, the pull
let’s unfasten our will, glass half full
of wisdom, we wish, we want to escape
this prison, ordinary existence, red tape
Somewhere between sex and fear
this passion lies
yet we’re too courageous
so we thrive
against all odds, mistakenly alone
staring reluctantly at our phones
aghast, embarrassed
a hint of cowardice
— shit
Don’t get stuck in your head
we’re better off instead
to enjoy this dance of life
embracing opportunity with strife
I know it doesn’t seem so right
that it should be left to you
but in the interest of tradition
I encourage thou come through
Don’t despair, my falling friend
it’s just the beginning, follow the thread
roll the dice, don’t flip the car
please remember who you really are
It’s worth it
(I promise)
Love,
a distant past lover
