Have you ever been where you want to be, but can't be?

Memories of tomorrow

 

I long for what could be

I long for what could have been

My past is tied to the future

My future drifts in the cold blue of spring

The memories we live today

The reflection of yesterday

A cold lake in a meadow shows no mercy

Snow does not melt in the shadows of dead trees

The forest speeds past my window

This highway leads me to yesterday

My dying city passes in the distance

The abandoned buildings of my truth slowly crumble

I stand alone in the rubble wondering why

My memories have no more roots

My reasons for leaving are forgotten

The mist of questions rise slowly around me

Surrounded by regrets I surrender

I plant new smiles in old soil

Warily I water dreams

The dark soil slumbers
