Scent of Memory

Nostalgia 
is the most powerful of all drugs
It will bring you back to
the place of your most intense joy, 
and tare you away 
in the same instant leaving you 
tear soaked and broken
How I hate it so
and long for it always

A prisoner of hindsight 
Nostalgia is the God of lost moments 
It holds the keys 
To all the doors 
forever locked by time 
So we spy through the keyhole 
Longing for answers about why

Nostalgia is love 
It is the only tangible way to relive
the moments, the never ending 
Oceans of joy, that we once swam in
And now can only hope for a glimpse 
If only in tiny, bittersweet doses
Of the times we were better 
That we can never live again
