You thought you are in stealth
trying to uncover
some of the old yore
from the tote
hidden in my soul

And as you sleuth through
the crevices and bend
of the labyrinthine ways
and pry to look for the reminisce
you come across
a charming charismatic version of me
a view you are unaware of
for you killed it
with your own bare hands
in the distant past
