Locked In My Mind [Poems]

Fade

i. sweaty palms wiped on weathered jeans

faded shirts and long-dried tears

dirty things on filthy floors

this is the life i led before

ii. remembered scars and memories lost

price tags from things

with too high a cost

many things hiding in the back of my mind

the is the life i left behind

iii. The dirty floors and settled dust

fenced in reflections left to rust

watching it fade behind the barred doors

this is the life i lived before
