Nobody ever shared with me.
Time swallowed up my opportunity
to walk through that bedroom door.
I knew I couldn't go back
to where I was normal
and I grieve bitterly.
Golden memories
I never drank of
flash on and off.
Chasing sun around
as if it were a game,
catching flighty fireflies
as they glowed happily,
consuming banana splits
as fast as one could.
Those moments
became my only sunshine,
and feeling them slip
is like forgetting
my friend,
the color yellow.
