Ruins

I visited the ruins today,

To reminisce about the past.

There I sat and thought,

Remembering an age long gone

And felt tremendous sorrow

For time has eroded those moments.

What memories and forgotten moments

Remain hidden from the eyes of today?

I look back on them with sorrow,

Knowing it all hides in the past.

Those days are forever gone,

Revisited only in thought.

I found myself lost in thought,

Forgetting for a few moments

That those days with you are gone.

I was forced back into today,

Facing the ruins of our past.

Nothing remains but sorrow.

I’m overwhelmed with sorrow,

For up ‘til now I had thought

I left this pain in the past.

But those treasured moments

Linger here today,

Reminding me that you’re gone.

This pain was never gone;

The longing, the sorrow.

The broken ruins here today

Exist only in my thoughts,

Made of memory and moments,

A monument to the past.

I’ve been trapped in the past,

Pretending you aren’t gone.

I cling to memories and moments.

Time has not yet healed my sorrow.

It’s present in every thought,

Casting a shadow on today.

It’s time to live in the moments of today.

You’re gone, but always in my thoughts

As I leave these ruins of past and sorrow.
