Trying To Remember

Yesterday has come and gone

Still wondering how long this can go on

Couldn’t sleep until the hours of dawn

Feeling like a chessboard pawn,

Somehow I let life sift through my hands

Now I tread through forgotten lands

Eyes that stare back at me from desert sands

The defeat of my best laid plans.

Jessica with a plain and pale face

On the painful side of leather and lace

Feeling rejected and out of place

She’s fallen too far from grace,

Seeking love on the astral plane

Failed every time aint that a shame

Can’t really remember who is to blame

Sorry Mam but I can’t remember your name,

Glimpsing a vision of the shadow lands

The fate of mankind is out of my hands

All I wanted was to play on a perfect band

Just trying to remember where it all began,

Please don’t tell me that there’s no hope

You told me you were at the end of your rope

A filth you can’t wash away with soap

Especially when your own president gropes,

I thought you could be a trusted friend

But will there be any in the end?

Sadly, an increasing trend

Will anyone ever hear these thoughts I send?
