Some Other Place

I wander through my memory The endless trail of what might be To find a tale of once was me And things I could or wouldn’t see Each stumbling step revealed a trace Another me some other place Just one more thing I couldn’t face The seething wounds of my disgrace Twas more than merely memory Or something loose I couldn’t place I thought I saw familiar face A face impossible to see It spoke to me about a trace A tale of all that used to be When all the world was you and me And all we did without disgrace But all that’s gone for now I see And all that’s left is lonely me With echoes of what now should be Now swallowed in a memory
