Forever Back Poem by graham russell

life flows one way while i go another
as the last breath leaves my body
my mind drifts back always back

the things ive saw the things ive done
come in shattered moments
moments that lasted seconds
sometimes for enternity

the love i knew
the hurt i caused
the tears i shed
the tears ive wiped

memories of years gone bye
some so sweet
some so sad
some so bitter
to leave me fearful

these memories
i think as my last breath
wisps away from me
taking the essence of what
i am

life continues upon it, s path as
i drift forever back
