Discovery- Memory

I’m surrounded by shadows.
They’re closing in on me.
And before my so weary eyes,
I am lost in mystery

I travel up the stairway,
With shadows close behind,
And because recent events have passed,
I’m beginning to lose my mind 

I turn into the alley,
My thoughts are far ahead,
Just as I think it’s been figured out,
The memory is dead

One thinks about the hardships,
That one is come to know,
No memories converted,
No love; just sorrow 

We gaze onto the future,
Not present or the past,
This is our minds weakness,
We dwell on selfishness 

I come into a corridor,
Of a house upon a hill,
There seem to be memories of past here,
Ones that create the chill

I fall into a hole there,
But now I feel released,
From the knowledge now within:
Discover memories
