Lo and behold that feeling

once more has returned

 

To tease test and torment

dead past willfully spurned

 

From window shut forever

heard unmistakable creak

 

A portent of ensuing havoc

and destruction it’ll wreak

 

Dilemmas deemed sorted

in archives since then lost

 

Will augment latent agony

with much heftier paid cost

 

An arduous uphill drudgery

has leveled to such situate

 

Conciliation is unacceptable

and not open to any debate

 

Have absolved core conscious

purged it all of earlier disdain

 

In a space sans expectations

or cause for me to complain

 

Hope it just proves contrary

for the hunch to turn  untrue

 

Have nearly spent a lifetime

sifting sense from old residue
