Memory Book

For the bemused and bewildered, a memory book

Sets out main events, to reminisce and look

I am bemused and bewildered, by your behaviour

Trying to understand it, taste the flavour

The trouble is, that memories vary

My grasp on events, is contrary

Are the vignettes of life, just pantomimes

Was it smoke and mirrors, no substance, a crime

I need to preserve the essence of us

Treasure the best, keep hold of the plus

Preserve the real, stop looking at rust

Wipe the tears from my eyes, the books,a must

Paste in the photos, add words to describe

My memory book, for a dream that has died.
