to that which is left
Holding on

Moving forward on a path
marked well by many tears,
barely holding to what has
eroded with the years.
-
Always yearning for the life
that we knew yesterday,
trying hard to just forget
what never goes away.
-
Looking on with hopeful eye
now growing dim with age,
fearing ever that which is
headlined across our page.
-
Moving slowly in a world
that's moving way to fast,
dying more with every day
while living in the past.

Someone has said that, The moment we are born we begin to die.
