Memories, you vow to keep forever
Wilting, dying, but leave you, never
Withered roses, from a love so true
Keeping them close to your heart, so blue
Try as you might, you cannot forget
A time in your life, you’ll never regret
Though dried up petals are all that remain
The sweetness of youth, you’ll always retain

Sometimes I miss the innocence of youth, but I don’t miss feeling like I have no control over my own life or body. Abuse can really taint those memories.
