distant memories

by cidney - Cancer

I can still remember lying awake at night
waiting for the sun's morning to rise
        
Sunshine light shine luminescent golden rainbow rays
cast down brightly making way through the window smoke haze 

I can still remember sitting in the diner 
with my coffee and my cigarettes

Cigarette burning between my fingers slowly dies
thoughts overlaying memories stain the walls and eyes

The backdrop to a world that never existed

I can still remember asking the bartender
for another round of amnesia

Empty liquor bottle on the floor near my feet
again I find myself in this same drunken seat

I can still remember standing in the mirror staring,
searching for the beginings end

Lazer honed razor kissing my flesh with icy lips 
thick warm crimson liquid trickling, drips from finger tips

The remeberance of lessons, 
                            in the reflection of life.



Reason for writing:

    memories of the past
