Childhood is easily forgotten

But when it comes back, it's never left

Always at the back of your brain

The missing piece of life's incomplete puzzle


Childhood is a child

It runs away, hoping you'll come searching

It's the child that bad things happen to

The one you regret neglecting


Everyone makes mistakes,

They say, consoling. The damage is

Done. The child is gone, childhood

Dead.
