Clinging to faded memories of the past
Thinking of times that didn’t last
Times are changing, years go by
Questions are answered but we still ask why
What once was light now is dark
Mere shadows, passing, leaving their mark
The mist of the night, it seems, grows thick
Is this reality or just a trick
Mindless regrets that cant be changed
Loves of days gone by become estranged
Their presence lingers in the mind
But links to today they cannot bind

'what once was light now is dark' I've heard that a lot before. That last stanza had a lot of truth in it... it's just that it sounds like you took lines from a lot of different poems and combined them till they made sense in this one. ...thanks for entering, maybe you should have cussed me out in your poem instead. You can still change it if you want. Just edit the title and everything, let me have it. Honestly, that would be your only chance. I'd respect something like that.
