Anna Hopper Poet Rhyme

Tales I Tell

Where was I
Were you there too
The time flew by
I’m left, confused

I know the facts 
Yes, I’m aware
Nostalgic stacks
I feel despair

I know the tale
I’m sure it’s true
I know it well
Don’t misconstrue

It’s just, I feel
A disconnect 
Not quite as real
As I’d expect

Almost as though
It’s someone else
Who watched you grow
In tales, I tell

Another’s hand
Who stroked your hair
Another land
I was not there

I spit out facts
An honest sequence
Though right on track
A strange suspense

Memories, they seem
Like fabrications
Deceitful dreams
They keep replaying

But are they real
I can’t decipher 
I can’t quite feel
Like I’m the driver
