In Faint Remembrance....

Memories...
Do they tug at you
Like you can re-spin them
Around your hours
That lost their track,
Unaccounted for?
Does your shadow
Play a reminder,
Of someone you saw
But forget?
Is your palette empty?
Is the canvas chipped?
What ignites your rage
In a sea of calm,
What is it that you can't forgive?
Are there wounds? Are they raw?
Or have you filled them up
With the sands of your silences?
You stare across
Listless in wondering
What amuses your nerves so?
I faintly recall
Your shy laughter....
Did you lend it to them too?
Do words make the same meaning
In your version of reality?
Why do you hide
Behind the hedges
Of tampered security?
Is it tiring there?
Is it lonesome?
Have we taken away from you
What it took to be you?
Which one was you?
Then, or now?
I can hardly remember the difference....
