Forgotten Faces

Forgotten faces, once relinquished Appear in memory again I can’t recall a name, distinguish Their voices every now and then They speak of anything forlorn Why does it happen in my head? Those faces I thought long time gone Remind me that they aren’t dead Fam faces I didn’t mean to find They use me now – what for? Discourteously unlock my mind Quite like a cellar door They tell old jokes, deride and sneer I wonder why on earth They come, until they disappear As if wiped off by cloth Forgotten memory lives on It doesn’t bound with me And either I do not belong To memory that’s free But it reminds me by caprice That once my life was long When I was green, just like those trees You see behind tombstone
