Emotional Nostalgia

Is there an emotion stuck in your throat? 
especially when it makes you feel nostalgic,
Your ideas will rise to the surface as they float,
to act as a reminder, as things are heraldic.

Especially when it makes you feel nostalgic.
It hurts your chest to remember the past,
to act as a reminder, as things are heraldic.
A feeling of strain you refuse to contrast.

It hurts your chest to remember the past.
You simply discard it without thinking away.
A feeling of strain you refuse to contrast.
The fight, the denial, and your lifting sway

You simply discard it without thinking away.
All this pain and agony lasts for eternity.
The fight, the denial, and your lifting sway
Don't just exhibit your genuine depravity.

All this pain and agony lasts for eternity. 
Commit everything else you've got to trust.
Don't just exhibit your genuine depravity. 
I perceive you and am aware of your thrust.

Commit everything else you've got to trust.
Here, stories and pity rest, so you can sigh.
I perceive you and am aware of your thrust.
Moving included that, and it remains today.
 
Here, stories and pity rest, so you can sigh.
Your ideas will rise to the surface as they float.
Moving included that, and it remains today.
Is there an emotion stuck in your throat?

These are not so easy to write but you have done a good job. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my page. The tornadoes were to our west then they went north/northeast which was above where I live. Some very bad damage in a town above us which is about a 30-to-40-minute drive. I feel for the people who were impacted by the high twisting winds that wiped out all in its path. There were some injuries and one death. Those families are suffering. Thanks for your concern. Sara
