The Lost Year

Photos taken
Photos lost
Tomorrows awaken...
At Yesterday's cost

Friends made
Friends lost
Times paid
At Memory's cost




Poems penned
Gone forever
Words seasoned
With Life's endeavor




Shadows of memories dissapate
Whilst faces of yesterday fade
Nothing left to debate
Gone are memories made




Thought to be secure
Banned to paper crypt
Meant ages to endure
But in the Never dipped




Circumstance brought
Memorabilia loss
Left is naught
As ghostly moss




Photos taken
Photos lost
Tomorrows awaken
At Yesterday's cost
