Memories. Poem by Ross Mabey

​Poem - Memories.

By - Ross Mabey.
​
In the hidden recesses of my mind, ​
Are the memories, I search for, but cannot find. ​
Some are precious memories of those days, ​
Which are now lost in a foggy haze.​
​
You speak of them with such tenderness, ​
Of those days, when we loved to caress.​
Tears welled in your eyes, ​
When you finally realise.
Even though I'm with you now, ​
You feel as though you're all alone,
By yourself, with these memories on your own.
​
I don't know what to say or do, ​
It's not that I've forgotten, ​
It's just that I can't remember,
The pathway to where,
My memories are stored, it's true.​

Due to a faulty mechanism in my brain, ​
Even if I stress and strain.​
One day science may have a clue, ​
That will satisfy both me and you.​
Until then we will have to wait,
And just accept out fate.
