A Walk

Come take a walk with me

A walk into my mind

Down twisting winding corridors

Of things I've left behind.

Oh look! there's a toy

Battered and bruised with age

See how in the blink of an eye

It slowly fades.

Oh look, there's your face

freshly preserved and unchanged

I haven't seen you for a while

Are things still the same?

Oh look... There's  your grave

Cold and shiny new

Still holding on

To the very essence of you.

Oh look... Here's my high school

Memories long lost and dead

Funny how it all still lingers

In my head.

Oh look....

Here's the door I like to keep barred

Of a time I wish to forget

Where the better half of me is scarred.

Oh look! Here's the end of the line

There's nothing more to dwell

You can try to get it out of me

But I swear I'll never tell.

So you've taken a walk with me

A walk into my mind

Down twisting winding corridors

Of things I've no longer left behind.

Don't try to return there

There's nothing more for you

Just leave me to my memories

That's all that you can do.
