Memory Lane

Winding, dark and treacherous.

Sometimes I find myself there.

Unsure of how or why.

A memory, voices from the past.

The back roads of my mind.

Winding, dark and treacherous.

A wrong turn.

One misstep.

A fatal flaw in the grand design.

Paved with broken stones and shards of glass.

Soaked with tears and pain.

Unnecessary truths, drowning in lies.

A recollection of mindless introspection.

A flashback to things long since passed.

Suppressed recollections of long-lost affections.

Things remembered rather forgotten.

Moments of light and happiness far and in between.

Nostalgia spreading lies of fond grandeur.

I no longer desire to return in thought to things I’d rather forget.
