I Wonder who made it, and who blew it
Would I recognize them with a second look
Did they live to see, or did they die in the pit

Haunting images of a long forgotten face
The image takes me back to a hallway
Her perfume lingers like mace
I can still smell it decades away

I see the taillights of a Grand Am
I'm taken back to a parking lot
GED, the final exam
A memory, my mind gets caught

Pictures have long since decayed
My memory still lingers on
A million times I wish I had stayed
I can still see you laying on the lawn

Hundreds of memories have been forgotten
But it is the ones that wont let go
That hold me like a blanket made of cotton
And forever in my mind will flow [comments] => 6 [counter] => 206 [topic] => 44 [informant] => CrazyCowboy557 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Nostalgic )

Taken Back

Hundreds of memories have been forgotten
