Past and Present
He clings to me
Yet he claims he is as strong as ever
His past haunts him
Terrorizing him in his thoughts
The strong and calm soldier of the present
Holding onto me for dear life
In fear of the past
Frightened, by the very fear
He tries to hide from.
He doesn't like to admit
The fear he has of his own mind
Images stalking him
Never letting him go
He needs a friend
A friend to cling onto in this time of fear
Yet he cannot hold onto this friend
In fear of the law
Yet now, in his weakness, he clings to me
And I let him
For I know
I love him
With all my heart
And the law
Will never tear us apart
