Over a Shoulder

Over a shoulder

		A past life follows in my footsteps
		Stretching so far back
		That time seems never ending,
		A decoupage of all that was.
		Overlapping memories
		Faded and frayed
		That mean everything
		And nothing.
		The shadow is getting shorter
		As life moves on,
		Day by lonely day,
		A cacophony of sights,
		Sounds,
		Sins, sinners,
		Love and hate
		Confuse a once clear mind.
		Memories 
		Coming from nowhere
		Fill each waking hour
		And sleepless night
		Where dreams are lost in the mists of time
		And the purpose of life,
		The reason for living,
		Hides it's lonely face.
