Cobwebs in My Childhood

By Bee

When we were younger
Everything made sense
And we could pass over the simple things
And laugh and cry and fall
So full of laughter
Singing songs
And laughing at the simple things

There were no complications then
Nothing even relatively hard
But now it seems
The simple things are a little more complex
And there are hard things
That make me want to cry
So full of pain
They make me want to cry

I remember wishing upon the stars
I don't do that anymore
But I can't remember when I stopped
I can't remember growing up
And it seems I've lost time
Minutes,hours,days,....and sadly years

But maybe it's best not to go back there
To the corners of my mind;my past
For that is where the shadows live
Always moving,always changing;constant reminders
And now that I think,was the past really that good
We never seem to go into the shadows were time is kept
Where time keeps the bad things

No, we only stay in the light
Living the moments that don't hurt us
But I went back there
Back where the shadows live
Trying to find you and I did
You stay with the shadows
For like the bad things they keep you
Not letting you in the light

And now that I've found you
I ask you
Were we ever really that happy?
