I’ll remember
All my life
Ever changing
Never changing
Just like me
Ever changing
Never changing
Just like me
Shadow event
Captured in light
Held in coloured silver
On fading film
Myself
Left so much behind
In faded memories
Lost to time
Distraction
And repression
I am reminded
Of the day’s catches and false-starts
The day which would have never left my bed
But for a promise to a friend
Will it be a photograph
In your mind, an epitaph
Or the sound of my lost laugh
When I return
To pick them up
They are no longer
The same moments
As the years proceed
The man I was
Drifts further
And further
Into the shadows
Until, in the mirror
There is only
The man who is
Wishing it
Each time
To be
Different
Reflections form a perfect circle
Bringing the past into the present
And the present into the past
I create a history I prefer
Reforming memories I prefer
To remember
