A Lost Remembrance

 A lost remembrance 

A piece drawn away

A thought that never happened 

A voice kept silent 

Time ticking in the back of my mind

Cause I know what I’d find if I sit in place

So I keep walking 

Not sure what I’d find

Or where I’ll find it.

I don’t know the way

I just go where I go.

I’m at peace now

With myself at least.

I’m back to ground zero in some ways

Yet liberated in a way I haven’t felt since days before I knew..

I never could forget your face

It finds me in my sleep

And I’d like to tell you about those dreams.

If you hear my name

And it doesn’t bring you pain

Just know that I know

I felt it too.

And tomorrow, 

Is worth the price.

Missing the turn I should have taken 

Having found somewhere better

Because of it.

Peaceful resistance to

The moving towards 

The Unwilling to compromise.

A Mental fortitude.

The secret of allowing myself to feel

Yet standing strong in the face what is coming.

Using the emotions to power a new resolve.

I may not know where I’m going 

But I haven’t given up.

Nothing is worth that.

I never meant to fade away

So I hope that if ever you hear my name

It doesn’t bring you pain

Those years were gold

And held me up

When I felt lost 

The memories gave me a home.

To the days long past

Somehow, I’m not scared anymore

Of the “past” I missed 

Or the roads I missed 

I know now.

The path ahead is only yours to walk

Yes you may have missed opportunities

It doesn’t mean you can’t find others.

I hope that if you ever hear my name

You can still smile.

Know what I know,

Those days were gold.

And though the heart always holds

We’re onto missing roads.

And somehow,

We’ll know the way.
