JUST A MEMORY
Do I exist, so I am?
yet striving to persist
for as long as I can
An empty, spent shell
I stay alone, hidden away
trying to find some meaning
to wake for another day
Dreams have all gone away
like shadows cast in fading light
another empty sleep, empty soul
just one more restless night.....
Youth is only just a memory
of decades gone, chances spent
and broken promises to lament
with thoughts of what can never be
What purpose now may save me
and fill the future
with what should be?
