I felt that feeling
something is missing
But I couldn't say
what?
I sat too long
in hopes...
I would remember
just what
had gone away.
I stood up
to walk around
that feeling of loss
wouldn't go away.
I stared out the window
hoping my mind
would reach out and find
~something
I tried to distracted my thoughts
by not thinking
"what could be missing?"
Maybe, it would find me.
That didn't work well
the loss was heavy on my mind
I needed to know
"what have I left behind?"
It was like a black hole
had filled the space
where memories
had once been placed.
The struggle my thoughts
put to my mind
made me wonder
was it me I had left behind?
I live in a world where my thoughts are my own
I haven't shared my dreams
with anyone.
I've built a safe around my self
where even I have no key.
Maybe the something I have forgotten
is
me?
