Nostalgia

Do you remember the sunshine? 

The breeze gently caressing your face

The laughter and noise of days gone by

The possibilities now erased?

Do you ever look back to that day?

The day everything was true

The day that seemed it could never end

And the sky; endless and blue?

I go back to that day all the time

Every second when I close my eyes

My soul fills with yearning and longs for what was

The days when the sun still would rise

Those days sustain me in the darkest of times

Yet serve as a reminder of the pain

How simple things were, I curse myself now

I shan't get those hours again

How easy it is to hate others

For others retaliate to spite

But to hate oneself, when one knows oneself

To agree with oneself that they're right

And to feel that existence is worthless

And to live off of bitterness and hate

To live in agony and to loathe oneself

So I often return to that one treasured date

The day when the sky can't shine brighter

When possibilities are limitless

How I often return to that memory

For reminiscing is my bliss 

Author's Note

I am a philosophical person by nature. This poem is less of a poem than a musing, a rambling, and the language is far from my best.
