Passing the Past (Old Found Poem)

you were once there
right by my side
the way you said
you always would be

but you lied
in the blink
of an eye
without even a glance behind

you're long gone
only around in hauntings
leaving me
questioning

what's real
who's real
and if anyone really means it
when they say
they'll be there

Reminisce

the seasons change

but that's not all

for the feelings within

evaporate from the walls

it's not yet over

that I guarantee

for the truth of the matter is

it's just a new beginning

it is never the end

unless you let it be true

cause this trickling

up my spine

reminds me

of you.

Solitude

sometimes i just need my past

to not feel

like the past

I just want to relive

some of what I was

forced

to leave behind

I want to know it still

exists

and hasn't been forgotten

I want to know

it had some meaning

to someone else but me

I need to know

that you remember

because I don't know if I can

alone
