Fading Away

Dripping from your life,
The memories slowly fading away,
Dripping out of your mind,
Your eyes search desperately for more,
As it slithers away,
You whisper for it to come,
But it slips along,
Your voice lands on deaf ears,
You wish there were more,
More of these memories,
The ones that are cherished,

Your heart aches,
Your arms ache,
You reach for the fading memories,
You reach for more,
Hands grabbing at the air,
Arms flailing about,
Searching for the touch of it,
The feeling of the memories sliding back in,
Is what you yearn for,
You reach for more,
More of these memories,
The ones that are cherished,
