Forgotten Memories

Memories stir around, a halo of forgotten things
Locked in a box 
Forever

Fog clouding my inner thoughts 
Like a graveyard of tears I cried 
The deafening silence devours my innards
As I gaze around at the forest
Dark, ominous
Empty of all life

Moments within this woodland clearing
Are so fragile and rare 
That I wonder if it would ever remain untouched, unscathed
By the bustle of human life

Suppressed desires and bitter winds
My arms wrapped around your trunk, feeling your heartbeat
Wondering if this could remain the same for years
Or if we were two souls finding each other in the wrong lifetime
Your soul latching onto another tree, feeling the signs of danger
As men with axes surround your base
Seeking a new life
