pictures
from long ago,
filled with memories
you thought you forgot.

every moment seeps
back into focus.
I remember it,
just how it was
in the pictures.

happiness.
joy.
friendship.
appreciated.
purpose.
comfortable.

I remember it.

it has been
2 years
3 years
5 years
6 years
8 years
9 years
even 10 years.

I remember it.

every moment seeps
back into focus.
I remember it,
just how it was
in the pictures.

I wish I didn't.

what once brought
happiness,
now brings
pain.

what once brought
joy,
now brings
misery.

what once brought
friendship,
now brings
solitude.

I am no longer
appreciated,
instead I am
mistaken.

I no longer
have purpose,
instead I am
lost.

I no longer
feel comfortable,
instead
I am troubled.

every moment seeps
back into focus.
I remember it.
I remember it
oh      
so well.

I wish I didn't.
