something from the other day

[nolatrinity]

Some places change, some people change
Sometimes a skeleton remains
Enough to recognize, to make you close your eyes
With a silly grin that only you understand
Open your eyes
How the picture and the smile fades

Was the only difference youth?
Did it make things so bright as to blind
Was it so much of a lie
For some time hurts not heals
Cutting deeper than any scars

Reality , perception, point of view
Do any remain constant, a reference point to judge sanity?

Thoughts and feelings hang heavily
Doubt, remorse along side longing and concern
Searching for the elusive truth
