collective (DE)

by Beth - Scorpio

sometimes fleeting
 you arrive in a glimpse
and are gone just as swift

Sometimes you stay
long past your welcome
leaving a bad taste in my mouth

Sometimes you linger
like a kiss on a lovers lips
bringing a smile

sometimes you create 
an impossible standard
Placing yourself on a pedastool
making me believe
an ideal that never was

the mind can play tricks, 
the heart can be defective
but nothing is more fickle



than a memory.

Reason for writing:

    Nostalgia....is that an emotion????
