Dismantled

I have walked away
From so many things
So many places
So many people

Myself

Left so much behind
In faded memories
Lost to time
Distraction

And repression

But some stays with me
Like the forms and art
Of bygone eras
We can never bring ourselves

To dismantle

Some little beauty
Itself faded
Out of time and place
I want to hold onto

Forever
