I'm still trying hard just to make sense,
of what is going on in mylife and all that is yet to come,
Feeling as if everything is moving so quickly and they are so intense,
I realise I can no longer cope as i grow numb.

My memories flash in my tired mind's eye,
Faces i used to know and names I no longer remember,
Fade in and out before they die,
As I long for all that was once tender.

Why can't I simply leave and walk away?
Never look back and regret all that could've been,
Instead i remain and cling on to a desolate hope,
despite all that I have felt and seen.
