Emotional Residue

Lingering flashbacks
of pain and of joy
Ingrained in the man
emerged from the boy

An absentee father
A mother alone
The love that was taken
The love that was shown

Black and white
With gray throughout
Growing up fast
Littered with doubt

The man and the clock
Walk side by side
Now growing old
Time to abide
