My Inner Cupboard

I open the *cupboard, dust falls slow
in it, *nostalgia sleeps, from long ago

I flick the *switch, light spills wide,
an *x-ray glow on what I hide

keepsakes *installed are in place
as *series of ghosts I cannot face

my silence is heavy, my heart feels *dead
though I've *reconciled with what was said

but my thoughts fly as medley and *maze
darker in corners, in a hollow haze

for memories bind me, I cannot sever
some things I've kept, *bother me forever.
