Baton

Vague memories haunt me still, 
they come whether sadness or thrill, 
too often at the very worst time, 
it rings in my head, a Pavlov chime, 
some reactions are unrehearsed,
but at the same time I feel versed, 
like a dark coffee my actions appear bold, 
when in turn, inside I break and fold, 
you, most of all, don't deserve this exposure, 
twisted memories becoming my composer.
