I took a stroll down memory lane
I saw you there
It caused my soul
To dance with pain.
The way you talked
And laughed
And played
Oh the way
I thought you'd always stay.
I took a stroll down memory lane
The way I cherished
And adored you
Yet I now sit
Now scarred
My heart you did maim.
I took a stroll down memory lane
It hurts
Still fresh wounds
Deep cuts
Now my mind
Is no longer sane.
I took a stroll down memory lane
Me and you
You and I
Together forever
The both of us
Made the perfect two.
I took a stroll down memory lane
It was a long
and lonely walk
No hand to hold
No lips to kiss
No one to whom
I could talk.

*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.

Oh the way I thought you'd always stay. That line hit me so hard. This poem was so relatable! I loved it!
Wow. That pain is familiar. It gets better. The more you work on yourself the more you’re aware of what to avoid- it gets much better.
