the truth
I drift
Drift away from the ground
Away from the people
Away from responsibilities
Away from you
We live for the memories
But they fade as they come
That’s what you are
A memory.
Until you are a story.
A thought.
A feeling.
Until one day you are nothing.
Not just nothing
Nothing to no one
Because they will all fade too
The world might end
But yours will
