Years and years

Aa Harvey

Years and years

 

 

Disposable memories lost with broken phones;

Praying for a little more light when I am all alone.

Wishing for a peaceful day, but that is not the way today will go.

I am lost upon a star of a dreamer mind of long ago.

 

 

Those days we had were only fleeting;

Gone too fast to remember the meeting,

Which changed our lives forever more.

Those painful days that left us broken down here on the floor.

 

 

Looking up and waiting, praying,

Saying anything to make things change;

But today is not for changing, so things remain the same.

I am but a child inside, a half-lived life, a moment in time,

Lost to the ether, floating high above;

Looking down upon myself for never being good enough,

To live the life I had in my hands.

I had the laughs but took no chance.

 

 

And now the hour has passed

And all I am left with is no way to turn back

And take the gift you gave to me;

Your endless love, your empathy,

Your courage in the face of fear,

Those years and years and years and years.

      Thank you.

      Sometimes I name a poem after my favourite line from the poem and this was such a case.
      I like the last stanza too.

      Peace, love and empathy.
