I Remember ©©

I remember when I was young
The friends I had
The things I did
Times ill spent

I hear the footsteps still in my head
Played again and again by my mind like a broken song
They’re always fading away
Yet never gone

I feel the pain through my eyes
As I feel the love through my heart
The soul knows
As it drowns in emotion

I know what is real
Yet I seek the fantasy
The dreams hidden away from the rest
Deep in the abyss of my soul

I write the lyrics of my song
Play the beat that gives it life
Dance to its tune
As I get lost between the lines

I touch everything
With hungry fingers and eyes
Feasting on what’s given
Nourishing my mind and soul with what I don’t posses

I sleep to escape my prison
To be free of my bonds
So I can live the dream
The dream I had from the womb

I remember what I touch
I remember what I feel
I remember what I hear
I remember when I sleep

I remember the dream……..
