Fragments

Scattered 

Blown by the winds 

Pieces of a life 

Chasing 

Like sand 

Escaping my fingers 

Trying to hold them all 

Words 

Ideas 

Desperately 

Dissolving 

Becoming pieces 

Years 

Months

Weeks 

Days 

Hours 

Minutes 

Seconds 

Fragments 

Trying to put them back together 

Pages out of sequence 

Losing time 

Everything happening together 

Memories commingling

Losing friends

Losing family 

Losing you 

Losing me 

Fragments 

Scattered 

Life is lost in my mind 

I am 

Lost 

In my mind 

Can’t make you see 

Can’t make you understand 

My life unraveling 

Connections disappearing 

Floating apart 

Life dissipating 

Memories 

Living in memories 

Of others 

Fragments 

Scattered
