Nostalgia’s Blue Hands
Streams of memories
My mother used to read me stories
September 3rd, emotions whistling echoes
I used to wear yellow coats
Nostalgia's blue hands on my throat,
Birthdays with brothers
Celebrating Christmases, or maybe Easters
Unawareness and misunderstanding was a previous page
I believe I am now reaching a stage
Nostalgia's looking glass, upon my eyes
6 years old, back gardens were big
When it was actually just a London gig
I remember doing cartwheels at the park
I remember when nothing was gloomy or dark
When everything was a 20 minute sitcom,
But where's the over head laughter gone?
Blue hands around my neck,
Blue hands tighter and tighter
The tighter it gets to more I remember
The tighter it gets the more I want to forget
Matias Dumas
