the chords run deep throughout my being
it feels as though they’ve latched on to much more
than just an energy body
the physical manifestation is telling
lack of sleep, the lack of laughter
the chords run deep
they’ve become my veins
my blood now filled with the haunted past
one i’ve sought to let go
yet seems to creep in
perhaps, the chords are the reason
my energy has not cleansed
a breath in, a breath out
each day, striving to release
these chords
that run deep
