Sentimental Days

Distant memories
Passing, fleeting
Fading into
Gray and blue,
Buried feelings
Rise again
There is nothing
I can do.
Helpless now
They surround me
Captivating
Heart and soul,
I close my eyes
And drift away
I am losing
All control.
Then reality
Harsh and cold
Pulls me back
To now,
Past makes room
For the present
It takes
A final bow.
As much as I try
A cannot hold on
Those days
Are one of a kind,
I cannot go back
I can only relive
Those memories
In my mind.
