The Life We Used To Live

Your mind attached

right now..

to things we used

to know

wrapped around the cortex

refuse to slip away...

 

The life we used to live

a distant thought before

has reemerged with vigor

dusting brains

for colored prints and more...

 

My mind connects

to thoughts

of memories’ inner space.

The reason for it all,

I used to wonder why..

it vanished with the days...

 

We held within our minds

the age of reason’s way.

Reminders of what used to be.

The life we used to live,

is all I know today.

I have lived this sense for time in the past. This could be related to in so many ways. The relationship that exists, but has grown cold; remembering and living in a reality of love left in the past, as memories revisit those feelings. And remembering a loved one taken. I enjoyed this, and I defiantly see the connection with “Moving On.”

Great Write!
