Out Of The Blue

Out of the blue
Flickering screen
His name appears
This man from my past

Hands trembling
Taking a deep breath
I open his message
But in my mind I hear his voice

In the time that it takes
For the message to load
The months disappear
The past is new again

Feelings that were buried
Become achingly alive again
Tears streaming
As I read his words

Why after all this time
Does he contact me
Ripping open the wounds
I have long tried to heal

As if looking from afar
I see my fingers typing a response
My mind crying to stop
My heart refusing to yield

I open the door
That should remain closed.
When heartache knocks
Why must I welcome it in
