Remembrance Thanks

A poem that was written during struggling times

There are so many memories

Stuck in my head

Many that are good

Some that are bad

I care about some

Some that I don’t

Yet, I want to see how all of them match

 

There is a picture book spread out before me

Pictures of everything I saw

Friends

Family

People

Places

Everything that I took

 

There is a movie playing in the background

The last day we were all there

Friends

Family

People

Graduation Day

The party was the last thing to see us

 

I remember the reflections that we all had

Of everything that we all needed

Food

Friends

People

Things

It was happy to finally tell everyone

 

In the background, our last song plays

Over, never skipping a beat

It is us

Our band

Our music

I wonder if I should tell them to publish it

Before me beside the album

A book lays open and flat

Our words spread out

Our voices throw out

Our minds come together

I wonder if they will love it

 

Then there is the final piece of the puzzle

The final bit I gathered

From that night

That party

On Graduation Day

 

It glitters up at me, shinning and black

It was so fast to happen

Everything faded

Lea

Alex

Friends All Together

Family Too

Everything faded

 

I wonder what would have been different

On that night so long ago

Three years, actually

Three cold hearted years

 

Our voices shine onward

The memorial and group I made

It is their soul

Their minds

Their brains

Them

 

I look at the scattered remains of the past

The book

The pictures

The song

The memories

I remember you and still keep you dear

 

Thank you for saving me,

My friends

My family
