Past, Forever, Lost

Have you ever had to find you’re past

So Forgotten , lost piece by piece

You find old testaments in lost catacombs

Deciphering every last confession of you/re soul

Putting together the mystery in you’re mind

Bits fall into place like jigsaw pieces in a puzzle

Slowly revealing things destroyed

Is this a war zone blown apart?

No it’s the tragedies once faced

I find writings among math notes

No wonder I squeaked by in class

How could so much of my youth be lost

I was there but it was all taken away

Stripped away like the badges of a general

With what am I being charged?

For being so kind and loving?

Remaining faithful to the end?

But like war-torn ruins, little remains

Survivors running off with souvenirs

Wait come back I need those

Its too late as they fade away

I only regret not trying harder

Trying to keep what remains of my past

My last resort is to keep digging

Maybe I will find more….
