An Emotional Journey

I seem to have forgotten how happy
I greeted time, although it lasted briefly;
youth is that phase of life when every thought
is free and delightful allowing imagination to take flight!

I've been transformed into someone dazed
by thoughts of unsympathetic awareness
and without emotion, I blench
driven by feelings of emptiness; 
stepping back in time while sitting on a bench 
covered by shadows, where once sunlight flickered 
through leaves, makes me relive an emotional journey 
that is heartbreaking and yet it can't set aflame any memory!
