Lost In Plain Sight Poem by Phil Soar

Among the memories that left him years ago
Were many that now haunt him
He searches for them, but they are lost
The temper he feels, yet doesn't recall
Is a distance away
Lurking somewhere in his past
Sleeping in the darkest corners
Wanting to be awoken
But knowing they are lost for good
Yet others try to recover them for him
They talk to him of times past
And try and piece together his jigsaw of life
Only to find there are missing pieces
His mind and empty cupboard
That once kept his secrets
His arms reach out, but he knows not what for
He feels lost, but to others he is in plain sight
And their love goes on, Although he doesn't know it
Tears flow from vacant eyes
From a stream in perpetual motion
Though no-one would know where it begins
Lost in Plain Sight
