Stories

Stories we have that we tell ourselves

Stories that bend with time

Histories change like books on a shelf

Pages that need a rewrite

All these words

All these words we leave behind

All these thoughts

Are chased away by bottles of wine

And stories

Memories fade

We polish the past

And let all the sorrow rust

Fill in the blanks

Make up the end

From parts of a book we loved once

All these words

All these words we leave behind

All these thoughts

Are chased away by bottles of wine

And stories

All these words

All these words we leave behind

All these thoughts

Are chased away by bottles of wine

And stories
