Faded and Forgotten

Friends, family and strangers of the past,

Those who exist no more

Lie, decaying and crumbling beneath the grass.

Those who walked upon this floor,

Those who felt well,

Those who were afraid

Prance and dance around the great bell,

Replaying the ringing heard through the decades.

 

The snow falls, glittering white on mossed stone.

The sun shines, rays upon the engravings.

The leaves fall, they roam and then are gone,

They lay next to those that wanted saving.

 

To see myself as I am now,

And to see myself in a hundred years from now,

It saddens me, it scares me

That I’ll just be another memory,

Then faded and forgotten.
