Memories Can Eat You Alive

You look back and think about the past
what has happened, what you could have changed
you remember the good and the bad
but naturally there is always more good
Memories are more powerful than they seem
as they can make one feel happy or sad
yet the bad ones is not what makes you sad but the good ones
Because no matter how hard you try to recreate that memory, it is never the same
people and places always change

you try to live forever in a moment
you die to relive the precious moments
but nothing is ever the same
you think of those who are to come and those who have past
hold those who have past close to your heart
and continue to move forward
As a memory can eat you alive
