Memories by Mistee O'CB - Year 9

 

Memories

Nothing lasts forever
But I always thought
-Always hoped
It would:
A stupid teenage dream
That never was
And never really could

I thought we’d live
In that moment always
Forever in rose tint
And gold
Frozen in nostalgia
Buying what Hollywood sold

But that happiness
Unravels quickly
In so many unknowable ways
And then finding it again
Is like chasing smoke
Or having again
The blissful dream
From which you just awoke

All that is left
Are fragments
Of a bygone day;
Yellowed, distorted
By perspective
I try to focus on them:
But they shift, waver, fall away
My old mind ineffective

What then?
For the words
Which I command will
Never be immortal;
Forever is a concept
I have grown to mistrust
In the end
As with all things

Only dust
