Amanda Shelton - Memories

Memories are like the ocean.
Waves of emotion wash over my mind.
Memories are like the wind they blow away in time.
Memories are like a heart beat,
beating slower with the passing of time.
Memories are like the dusty rooms we lived it as kids.
They ones were bright shiny and new even clean too.
But now all we are are memories, lost lovers, mothers, dads, daughters, and sons.
We are nothing but dust in the wind.
Past kings and queens no-longer on their thrown's.
We have become memories portraits on the wall.
Images on a screen.
Texts on a phone.
Paintings painted by dead artists hands.
Our memories are portrayed in such a way
it almost emphases how much we give away
to aging, and decay.
Memories are all we became nothing more but a picture in a frame
Memories are all we have,
so hold on to them they are all we have left of who we ones were.
