Memories

Sitting there in utter emptiness, I stare ahead in amazement, At the remnants of a place, Filled with memories of a glorious past. And as i stand there all alone, Past Memories flood into me, Stepping back on the stones of time, Back to a time when life was wild and free. There as i stand amidst it all, I see my old class come back alive. So many familiar faces, Smiling back at me, And shouting cries of welcome. I see all my old friends, Some going about their daily business while others gossip. And there among them i see myself as i used to be, Laughing and joking around so carefree, Knowing not what the future holds. Standing there engulfed in my past Seeing so many happy faces, Of those whom i held dear to my heart, I shed tear in pain, which trickles down my face and falls on to my palm. Realization flows back to me once more, The pain of it all embracing me, Like a Venomous Sting, That penetrates my veins, Darkening the depths of my heart Where my memories lay, Locked up for evermore.
