Memories
I think I finally know something
I had what seemed to last
One false move and it was in the past
I hoped for its thrill
But believed in it. But now belief burns
Off with the descent of the hill
Which is life
Starting to see some changes in everything
At the time it was the only thing that mattered
Then everything shattered
But I move on slowly repairing, recovering changing developing
Day in day out week after week
With each passing year I mature
But I’m also not so sure
If in this something is not right
If I went out of the frying pan into the fire
Or if my life is soaring higher
Was I right?
Or have I plunged myself into a terrible plight
Those memories are corrosive and are burdening me like a sack of weights
I am chary to remember them but there is no escape
Regardless I try, futilely I attempt, to forget
But maybe that’s not the way its supposed to be
Maybe im meant to cherish those moments lost in time
