Nostalgia Is A Crime Poem by Evan Histed

nostalgia is a crime

that locks away your heart

in a time where you have to fight

to remember what is true



our parents and our grandchildren

will never understand

those we hold so close

are sometimes on the other hand



forever we may wander

searching for that home

the one that we remember

from so long ago

but it was imagination

that made these walls of stone

plaster and plywood

crumble when the storm breaks loose



when everything is over

if you my fantisy

finaly appeal to me

perhapes our lives can become

just another memory
