Poem: |
SLIP AWAY
|
| |
Yesterday is just as blurred as two years ago,
Today is sharp as a tack but soon I will let go.
Time is running short as my memory slips away,
As tomorrow nears today fades away.
Pushed away by new ones now no stronger than a weave,
Where do my memories go as soon as they leave?
Pressure on my mind as I lose another day,
If only I could find the one and only way.
I wish I had the power to grant myself a wish,
So that I could put all my memories in a precious dish.
I’d keep the dish close at hand so years stay close,
Of all the times I’ve wanted to remember meaningful roasts.
As I close my eyes as I got to sleep,
There’s worry through my body so much I want to weep.
My dreams soften the pain like the melody of a song.
As my view darkens my memory is now gone,
Yesterday is just as blurred as two years ago,
Today is sharp as a tack but soon I will let go.
