Still Memories Haunt

If only you knew what you did today, Would it all change words of yesterday? Or did it all happen just so you’d learn? You can see better as the tables are turned. The lessons we learn seem to come at a cost. What we learn weighs against what we lost. Things keep moving, time marches on. Thing that are lost become what we long. I wonder was it worth it the price paid. All I left behind I wished could have stayed. The sun rises up to greet this new day. Memories haunt the events of today. I know there’s no sense living in the past. You can never outrun the shadows it cast. You woke up today life passed you by. Maybe you just forgot how to try? I find myself older yet I lost some trust. It was left in the rain and started to rust. Once it is lost it’s so hard to get back. I try some new cards from off of the stack. It doesn’t seem better but it could be worse. Maybe my destiny has plotted this course. I don’t expect anything I see what’s to come. I see what I need and try to grab some.
