Remind Me of a Time

Remind me of a time when I thought the world was cold

I can barely remember the gelid touch of apathy

Sitting in the closet’s gloom

Writing my endless tirades on the pink wall in dark black

The ranting never ceased to stay

But I’d rather live now

Than in a time when I thought the world was cold

Remind me of a time when I thought the world was bold

To put me in positions that I’d always jump to hate

When the final outcome was just another live and learn

Or something I might yearn to repeat

But I’d rather live now

Than in a time when I thought the world was cold

Remind me of a time when I thought the world was white 

Just an empty canvas up for grabs

A simple blank page to scrawl my thoughts upon

A tube of paint to weave my life

Something to step back and admire from afar

When all the lies were said and done

But I’d rather live now

Than in a time when I thought the world was cold

Remind me of a time when the world begun to wilt

The fruitful trees starting to rot

Decay a formidable enemy

Of a time I cherish so prominently

When everything is gone so soon

The best left to soured memories

Which in time will always fade away 

I’d rather live in a time when I thought the world was cold

There's a unique substance to this writing that speaks of a maturity you claim not to have . . . . and yet it's there and I applaud you for it.

[Southern Cross]

Very intense poetry here. Beautiful imagery and flow. The ending grips the reader and leaves such an impression. Our lives do change and along with that our perceptions of it.

I absolutely love this poem. As an artist and writer, the lines you wrote "just an empty canvas up for grabs. A simple blank page to scrawl my thoughts upon. A tube of paint to weave my life," really made think back to my childhood when I didn't own a laptop and my computer was a notebook, my cursor a pen and everything in life was simple and easy. Nowadays, my laptop is a crutch and I yearn for that time, that girl that was happy with the pen and paper in hand. Wonderful imagery. Thank You.
