Youth

A shattered frame hangs on a broken wall
The memories within now since faded
And the laughter held within these sad walls
Now rings silently of sorrow and pain

In this home we built oh so long ago
Is nothing left of our happier days
When smiles and laughter filled our weary hearts
And the comfort we found in each embrace

But now that time has passed and since gone cold
And time grows shorter and the years longer
Yet the mistakes I’ve made seem to linger
In the dreams and memories of my youth
