A Lonely Memory

There lingers a lonely feeling

A feeling of something forgotten

and yet undiscovered

There is a place in my heart

that is numb with cold

desperate for a retired warmth

There is something

so indescribable

though regrettably familiar

That feeling of complacency

suddenly is made worthless

and is happily forgot

I remember someone...

several people

and a love we shared

I remember friends

-what fools we were!-

the bond that was, ...still unsevered

I recall a life I had

and compare it 

to what I now have not

My heart mourns

that I have not these friends

that we share no laughter and tears

Something has gone missing

in my heart

and has yet to reappear

My friends, though good 

there were times 

when things were foul.

I wish for another chance

a chance with such fools as they

so I can laugh and cry and share again

We're all different now

and I know my self, my heart

so much better now...

But we've all gone our ways

and soon shall be long forgot,

though memories may stay fond

I hope this loneliness will leave

and I pray my heart will mend

for if it goes on, it will be my end

I yearn for something new,

something I've not yet had

but something old I miss so dear...
