When I look back on my past
All I see are strangers
Unfamiliar faces
Cloud my memories
Portraits all around
Hung about my walls
The faces I remember
But the names I can’t recall
Its such an odd phenomena
every man convinces himself the world cares about his yada ya
To think the universe gives a single thought
to the cost of our lost friends
a departure we taught ourselves to
fight
the light
is no longer litten
we watched it quaver and waver as our destiny was written
we saw the disappearing.
sounding throughout our hearing,
and told ourselves what would be done
But soon the notes of our heart had been restrung
we waited, heartstrings faded
out of tune, out of motive, melodies flat
The rhyme scheme of life ended like- this.
When I look back on my past
All I see are strangers
All the familiar faces
of past friends I’ve failed
Portraits all around
Hung about my walls
Force me to remember
The names I wish I could recall
