written from the soul

Memories

I bask away into a stream of memories
As I lay my head on a pillow praying for sleep to
consume me

The memories eat away my brain
As my heart fills with an unknown type of pain

I reminisce on the days I will leave in the past
As my new beginning is beginning way too fast

I leave soon to start a new life
A life that feels so wrong but oh so right

Sometimes I just wish for a little more time
So I can re visit these memories when they were at a prime

For now I listen with nothing but my ears
As I reminisce on a house full of laughter that soon drowns my fears

I listen to the creaks and cracks throughout my room
Creating such a comforting tune

With my eyes I see the memories from an older time
Some harsh.... and some kind

The days I spent drowning away in a sea of tears
And the days I spent in joy amongst my peers

My nose catches a whiff of a familiar smell
The old wood that I know so well

My fingers touch every surface that is near
Oh How much I will miss this place is now so clear

Tonight I hear the memories
I see the memories
I smell the memories
And I touch the memories

The memories that will stay in an old home
As begin my journey to find a new one all alone
But I know I will be alright
As the memories continue to consume me throughout this night
Allowing me to see things in a new light
As I hold onto them so tight
