forgive me if my recollection
has faded into fumbled memories
dissolving of innocence is disarming
I’m jaded still processing disillusionment
in a world that never fails to disappoint
forgive me if my recollection
has faded into fumbled memories
made more sweet
by rosy retrospection
subtle details glossed over
until uncovered in closer inspection
forgive me if my recollection
has faded into fumbled memories
I adore reflecting on
in my retrospection
I indulge in stories I romanticized
a retelling
forgive me if my recollection
has faded into fumbled memories
I deflect from my cynicism
internal commotion
forgive me if my recollection
has faded into fumbled memories
I’m not that young anymore
I remember what seemed like
a different world
Eulogy
Forgive me, you will published and read, my assessment became more sweet, when I considered my own opinion. Your lines are poignant, personal and meaningful.
