The Lost Moments

I can’t remember all the things I have forgotten

They are buried in my mind under piles of facts and fiction

Those lost moments

Parts of my life that shaped me, made me who I am

But cannot be recollected

And I wonder if that’s how it goes

All the lost things propel us forward

Into the new

I can’t remember building it

But all those misplaced memories

Lay stacked in the back of my mind

Like a decaying staircase

Which I ascended into

Today, Tomorrow, the future

And leave behind the Neverland of lost time

The faded shapes and lines

The echo of smiles and tears

The memories I once made

I can’t make all of it out anymore

Those faded moments

That lost child

That grew up and forgot
