The Persistence of Memory
How do you forget a moment in time that changed you forever
When pain is all that’s left behind?
How do you begin to move forward when you fear
You’ll lose your mind?
I remember....I forget....I remember
I cry
I walk forward, two steps back
I want to say goodbye
But how do I forget
The brilliance of the sky, the freshness of the day
Anticipation of what may come
The joy of being young again,
Fair to new eyes that suddenly looked away,
Bringing shock and devastation to life that had been bare and old and plain
How do you walk away?
I remember...I forget...I remember
