Forgotten Memories

Trying to remember, things buried deep

Experiences had, I'm trying hard to keep

The past grows blurry, the memories fade

The soul grows tired, a mind worn with age

A stitch in time, a moment to grasp

Slipping away, a sliver of the past

Looking for a key, something to remind

It wasnt always bad, theres been lots of time

Wilted lavender, a sweet familiar smell

Stimulates a memory, a story yet to tell

A past nearly forgotten, a piece of something good

Ill write it down on paper, ill carve it into wood

Anything to remember, to make it all seem well

There was a time before, I descended into hell
