The memories I so cherish are slipping away
Leaving me with a creeping fear I can't allay
The fear of becoming just another distant memory
A flickering image of what I used to be
Trapped between your dusty photos and old tales.
Whatever thought you had of me pales
Threatening to creep into the closet of your mind
Into the corners of your brain's forgotten design
Before it shrivels and disappears.
