The Broken People

I wish to return
To that very special place
Well
Both of them to be precise
Though I think I know
That deja vu
Isn't especially  all that nice

Memories are never as good
As the lies we choose to  tell
Which we want to believe so much
Though we believe them
All too well

The song that played
On that special day
Filled me with such joy
Is that a lie?
Or is that just my hope?
Slowly slowly
Destroyed

The clothes I wore
Are still pristine
I hang them
On the wall
To preserve the time
Or maybe times
Where I lied
About it all

The photographs
Are in their frames
With faces
Smiling
Blank
I remember the group one
Always nice
Always sweet
But who should I now thank

My imagination
For creating my life
Or my evil mind
Creating delight
I do not wish to remember
What I left behind
For I will then fail my pointless plight


I shall turn away from all the truth
And simply keep the lies
For we
The broken people
Can never look
In your eyes

What more can I say for this artistic piece of perfection? The beautiful images painted by the elegantly simple words guides us through a journey of reflection, with the hints of resentment reminding us to cherish all the wonderment we have in our short but occasionally sweet lives. Simply stunning.
