memories

 
the halls echo with my voice
my understanding is seen skewed
I will vanish
in a day disappear  
 
then thoughts can collide
or come together  
without my fingerprints
to disturb the dust
 
just a blip, a particle
of not much importance
time is of the essence
in this lunatics mind
it slowly tics away
 
thoughts painful in nature
easily dismissed
and passed off as counterfeit
 
genuine hurt pools in midnight blues
but you refuse to look at me
do you remember us when;
we were in our innocence
 
our first kiss still haunts my lips
love eternal was on our minds
and forever branded on our hips
we vowed to be true
 
the hours' tick backward
I remain frozen in the past
locked in our memories
 
the day was gray
it mixed with my colors
until it was all that was left

then fades to mist
