Recollections

With determination I set them free
Haunting memories at the back of my mind
I watch them play out before me

Yet they are sometimes all I can see
Moments I try not to find
In her brown eyes I see me

Moments unlocked with just a key
When my life wasn’t so kind
I watch them play out before me

Unknowing this does not have to be
But those to whom she will bind
In her brown eyes I see me

A reaction that becomes jerk-knee
Reliving moments I hid behind
I watch them play out before me

Thankful today to be free
Of actions that still will rewind
I watch them play out before me
In her brown eyes I see me
