Someday a Memory

By: Eve Estelle

From behind my pane of crystal glass,

I look out upon these familiar grounds;

Common homes in your standard suburb,

But home to me and those baying hounds -

Now by heart I know these sights, these sounds.

I watch the ghosts of days gone by,

And shiver with future's touch;

The stores I'd frequent, the brick and asphalt I'd walk,

Those I met, the cordial souls with whom I'd talk -

Someday they'll all be past.

The world knows that nothing lasts;

Changes come and changes go,

But still the memories remain;

They're here to stay,

While the rest - it goes away.

Yes,

Someday this will all just be..

..A sad, but sweet, memory.

Author's note: This feels very unfinished to me, but I'm having a difficult time thinking of what else to change to improve it. If you have any suggestions, do let me know - I'd be grateful! :)
