Lost Memories

Lost Memories

Where have the years gone?

My hand shakes while I write these words.

Everything is disappearing from my mind,
Memories fade and turn gray; 

I can no longer hear childhood laughter,
Memories of faces are disappearing.

Behind me is a dark tunnel where,
Memories have been lost never to return.

My past is lost and soon my future will be too.

Where have all my memories gone?
