Staring at no where

Staring at no where
Memories accumulate
Other capsulate
Some you put in a nutshell
That drifts down a stream
One or two are hard to escape
Coming out of no where
Knocking on your subconscious
Snapping you back in time
To a place that you can’t change
No matter how hard you try
Becoming a current unimaginable
Drowning in despair
Desperately clinging to a life raft

Staring at no where
Memories encapsulate
Some you shove into a bottle
And toss into the sea
Only to see all those bottles
Crashing at your knees
Coming out of no where
Knocking at your subconscious
Snapping your head around
At a ghost that was not there
To a time you can’t change
No matter how hard you try
Becoming an under current
Pulling you in with the tide
Drowning in despair
Desperately clinging to hope

Staring at no where
Memories that have escaped
Even when you wanted more
To a time with them to short
Only to see them in a crowd
Gone before you could wonder why
Coming out of no where
Knocking on your subconscious
Snapping your head around
Making you wonder why
Walking against the current
As the crowd pushes by
Searching for perfection
When you know it can never be found
Drowning in wishful thinking
Waiting for nothing
