Only Lost & Lonely Memories
September 19, 2008

Back through the years,
I wander back through time,
Thinking of all the past happenings,
All that’s stored in my mind.

Only lost and lonely memories,
Left alone so I’d forget,
Things I’d rather not remember,
Things others should regret.

Another’s behaviour,
Harsh words spoken in vain,
Hurt feelings last forever,
With degrading names.

Only lost and lonely memories,
A fear set in the night,
of a time in the younger years,
When things weren’t done right.

Why is it so dark, what’s that noise,
What is it that I fear,
Why do I lay awake throughout the night,
Longing for someone to care.

A frightened little child,
Crying long into the night,
Listening to Mommy and Daddy,
They know it can’t be right.
