Rust and Dust

My rusty mind plays tricks on me,

As I step through the gate to my old life.

With rust of all I was and, all I am yet to be.

Every memory is covered in rust and layers of dust,

Of untold things and songs yet to be sung.

As I leave my old rusty life behind I don't forget,

My old friend and the one I left behind.

In the dust and all the rust where they

will stay like statues for all of us,

Collecting the rust and dust of life.
