Default Nostalgia

[When I was younger, I often pondered in the past, revisiting memories that had long since been gone. Sometimes I would do this to the point of being unhealthy, but I have changed since. But every so often I find myself doing the same thing...
I don't mind this piece, but I dislike the last line and the turn of direction it goes, but it fits in with the 'life flashing before your eyes' sort of deal... I dunno. Opinions?]

-Updated-

I've been lost
In my past of deep memories.
How long has there been a wall
Between me and my history?

I happened here a few days ago
The dark has been all I’ve known since
If you share some knowledge,
I'll give you my ignorance.

How long will I crawl in this world
Stuck in an unending dream?
I once thought reminiscing as a pearl
Now I can’t escape, it seems.

I stumbled here some time ago
My stark demeanor now all I show.
If you lend me a little light,
I'll sell you my shadow.

I am lost
In a cell of sensory lore.
I was wrong to wander from
Everything I held before.

I look upon this with resentment,
But the only notion in my head
Is if I can’t be found, then
Is my presence dead?
