Today those old memories 
found me again
tracking me down
and reminding me of 
the long buried past

I indulged in a few
of my favourite distractions
All the while knowing 
they could not save me

I got lost  
playing hide and seek
with the past

And finally I had to admit
that I am still afraid
of those old cold ghosts

They can still reach through 
from the past
and catch me
