Forgotten Memories

Memories play on broken reels

Skipping forward and rewinding

Gritty images

some out of focus

Others crystal clear

Snippets

Edited together by a lazy brain

Who cannot find the missing pieces

though it searches

Strains then replaces

With something more beautiful

Forgetting and enhancing

Surely it wasn't that bad

Memories that are partial lies

To hide the truth

My brain denies

In the end it's okay

Because my brain makes it that way
