Memory

Memories are all that left,
Everything else disappeared into some mysterious cleft.
No matter how smart I was, no matter how deft,
Memories are all I have left.
*
Everything else was swept away,
Gone - in a single day.
No matter how hard I tried,
Of everything else I was deprived.
*
The present is gone,
The future isn't there anymore.
What's going on?
What's this for?
*
But my memories are still here,
Not that I really care.
Since everything else was lost,
And memories don't repay that cost.
*
Still memories are all that's left,
One thing that wasn't swept away,
Swept away - back to another day,
And now, memories are all I have left.
