Away From Me

Where are my memories Where have they gone New images come But do not last long Fear of loss fades with each passing day As my memories lie still in decay My journey is unknown to me As my past is slowly set free I say with love this one last time To all who have followed and follow still To names and faces and places lost To all that has not yet been burdened by cost To loyal and fearful friends and love's devotion I am neither brave nor empty of emotion As I wave from a distant window And smile a knowing gaze This one last time before the smoldering haze. (Title inspired by the film Away from Her)
