The Past
Why oh why did you leave
Please explain the rush
You surly will agree
Your backbone is my crutch
I'm doomed to reminisce
Something short and sweet
You know I'll always miss
The way things used to be
You keep my favorite times
Where my memories reside
But you drew a dividing line
I cannot get inside
I often can't decipher
Between fact and fiction
Was it really that much nicer
Or a lustrous addiction
Craving the forbidden
More saturated grass
But the present, I'm forgetting
While longing for the past
