The Old Man

Why are you here to torment me
To fornicate with old wounds
Barely covered with day-old scabs

It has been two lifetimes
Since I last lay my gaze on you
Yet I remember it like yesterday

the pain you gave birth to
has eaten my flesh and my mind
I am an old man now, you see

Why are you here to torment me
Now that I am weak and diseased
Now, when the dream has died so long ago

Why have you come here seeking love?
