It's hard to hold you close when the world keeps turning.

I'll be doing something I've done before
when something I forgot
fills my head,
then I forget what I was doing
so I do something else
instead.
I keep memories like secrets,
I never tell.
I never forget.
It only feels something like
regret
It's hard to hold you close when the world
keeps turning
I'm still learning.
Something better left unsaid
flew from lips, resisted - attempts
burst like spring I said too much
too many things - I said,
sent reeling to fall misplaced
like autumn leaves once golden
turnt to dust
instead.
Shadows of reflection
left to wonder some other - oh
fragments of disillusion to doubt,
what is it all about
It's hard to hold you close when the world
keeps turning,
I'm still learning.
