I

I have tormented you today

Shall do tomorrow.

I am the dark perching in your nerves.

For you who have fostered me

Staged big, dealt little

Cared decent to sway with.

I am the scripture of your narration

For you who have immortalised me.

Who am I ?

A blink;

a yesterday;

a jazz of time.

But I aver you my host

I have tormented you today

Shall do tomorrow.

Who am I?

A nurtured Past.
