long forgotten photographs cluster the top of your armoire
yellowing memories cracked and crinkled around the edges
you plunge into this long untouched, dust-covered segment of your memory
grubby fingertips grabbing at the edges, eager for answers
reaching deeper and deeper
mind reeling with sudden remembrance
strangers smile daggers back at you
red hot knives that rip holes in your heart
how could such ignorance be achieved
such disregard for a time once revered
it is pitiful to even comprehend
that these fast friends are so fast forgotten
now burn with broken promises and missed chances
i am ashamed that i could become so cold
i am ashamed of who i have become
lost are the old principles that bound me to the ground
i sacrificed them to chance a life amongst the clouds
only to open my eyes and find myself plummeting
terminal velocity towards the approaching earth
lost touch with old friends
lost touch with old self
moved away from who i was
hoping for who i wanted to be
but drifted towards who i am
left with only pretty pictures to remind me
of a gentler time, a simpler time
the people look like flowers at last
forever staring out from underneath the glass
