"me"

"ME"
Up and down...round and round.
Deep within my mind.
I search for the words....
I ...just cannot find.

My memories mix..
Like posters... on a billboard sign.
The colors soon fade...all to black and white.
By the evil hands of time.

How again?...
Must I find...
Love..?
To seal my 
heart....                                                                                                                    
Only mine.
Fit just like a glove.

No time I have to waste.
For the evil hands of time...
Move at...a very awesome pace.

I look inside the mirror...
It's looking straight back at me.
What is missing?
How I begin to easily see...
What I thought was my life...
Me!                                               
                                                               Written By: Gwen Jones
