where did the time go
so unnoticed
so forgotten
minutes rolled up and tossed away
like empty paper cups
so few remain with me
pressed between the pages of memory
I lose myself
over and over again
forever
I would hold this moment to my breast
and declare 'this is mine'
but there are so many moments
I am overwhelmed by them
and I lose track of what they mean
and where they should be stored
they slip away
they slip away
