someone else's shadow

... so this is an old poem.. not my favorite but until I get the ball rolling..

If you've got something stuck in the back of your mind,
I can understand why the tears well up,
whenever I mention that name;
Or why your voice tends
to go hoarse,
whenever we reminisce about the good old days;
from time to time I catch you,
staring off without a particular purpose;
And I wonder,
if it's really an under the weather type day
or if you are simply unable to forget.
