Remember when we first met?
We were kids
Young
Stupid
Free

You told me you wouldn't leave me
I remember that
It seems you don't
It broke me
But people change

Standing at the train station
I hear the breaks
The sound
I remember where we stood waiting
Good memories

Getting on the train to wherever it decides to stop
I'm much to tired to go back
I've been emotionally drained
I miss you
You left

The train stops interrupting my thoughts
Strange
I recognize this place somehow
It's dark
I remember

How?
Where?
Question so many
The wind... the air
Cold

I remember...
The place I lived at once
The dreadful place leaving me devastated
I Remember

The lifeless area..
strict neighbors
Loud cars
Huge backyards
Alone

Damaged property
Farms
Dead animals
Wild animals
Bad people...

Polluted skies
Robberies
Loud people
Danger
...I remember

The cold air
The gray skies
The pale grass
The damaged trees
The gray cat I found

The Terrifying thoughts
The abusive people
Trauma
Depression
Anxiety

The lies
The truths
Yelling
Screaming
Loud bangs

Crying
Hiding
Panicking
Fear
Shaking

The constant fear
Of anything anymore
Yelling
Being hit
Breaking

I remember the old land
The Buttons
Shattered glass
Rotten wood
Dusty ruined carpet

Overly short pale grass
The old dog wood tree
The broken flower pots
Dirt scattering the path way
I remember it

Looking up
Near the trees
My room
Second floor
Alone

The streets so quiet
No cars
No people
No animals
No birds
No bugs

Walking down the street
Alongside the fields
Down the road we'd walk down almost every night
Down to the corner

I have no where to be
Turn on music
Calm your heart
The destroyed houses
Overgrown plants

The street down to my bus route
Walking til I get lost
I never want to return
...I have no home
I wander

School...
My old school
Where I spend 10 years
I made friends
I hope they do well now..

The park
Few memories from here
Races
Meet ups
Love

The lake
Thoughts
Calmness
Birds
Water

I remember...
The path to my grandmas house
A 10 minute walk
Simple enough
Down the road passer the destroyed hotels

The old base ball field
Torn apart
The old yellow house
Demolished
Turn...

The white and green house...
The people so long gone
Their cats
Their love
Their spirits

I remember
Do I want to?
The wind picking up
The sky
Raining

The street to the mall...
the mall where nothing special happened to me
Walk past it
No memories here

No where else
I'm out of memories here
Time to make new ones
But am I ready
Am I ready to forget and forgive?

The panic
The pain
The trauma
The feelings

The family I wish I had
Long gone
Nobody remains
Every area so dead and alone
The harm done to this planet

No birds
No fish
No bugs
No life
No people

Continue walking down the road
Leading to unknown places
Getting lost
In thought
In emotion

Finding who I am spiritually
Failing my health
Failing my soul
Failing life

Tears
Crying
...sit
Cry
Breakdown

I'm alone
Forever alone
Nobody's here anymore
The depleted Earth
I remember

I hate remembering this
I hate feeling this way
All the memories
Overwhelming

Hurting me
Help

Down the places I never knew existed
The mountainside
The one place
Where i hold my memories called...
The Mountain Side of Memories
