Wanderlust

Creeping forth are images distorted by time
Nights of youthful glory, the defining moments
As a fading gallery of someone else's life

The world's beauty elevated from this mire of concrete
The cold stares of this wretched city, I am all this madness amplified

As the story fades
Dearest memory to remnant of grey
What was once all, now the weakening life source
I'm a passenger, an ember of a different time

Has it all been said and done?
Have we conceded to what's been lost and won?
In my mind I still roam, radiant and pure
Desperate to find a way to dream again
