Reminiscing at a glance

My heart is pounding
My eyes unfocused
My breathing heavy
As I remember
And try to keep my mind steady

Memories -
All come flooding back to me
Locked somewhere deep behind my eyes
Your touch
Your smell
Your voice
Your lies
All barely out of reach, but never truly lost

Uninvited guests
Making me uneasy
Yet, I hold them hostage
To torturously please me

Autumn's come, the colors changing
And of you, my thoughts have dwindled
But, I do still hope I catch your eye,
Searching for your glance as we pass,
Silently

There is no hope in that shared stare.
Just pained visions of the past
Memories of happy days
Days we'd hoped would last
