I’ve been crippled by the passing dates Why do we ever pick this fight? My inevitable demise awaits It’s our one true birthright But a quarrel would not suffice My decipher is to remain humble An eye for an eye is a fool’s paradise A watch to watch my world crumble And I’m sure I’ve been here before Addressing the stars of the past Hoping my memories would soar It’s been difficult to make them last There’s a sugar coated childhood In the brinks of natural laughter I may have misunderstood Or did I miss that lesson or chapter? No one tells you what it can do To all the precious memories They’re everything that shaped you Now caught in thoughtless reveries But the mind is cunning, a prisoner’s key The senses which bring nostalgia’s hack At last a pardon has succumbed to be My memories fade but will always be back -Jeremy Sylvester
