Memory Loss



To not remember must be a lost to wake up and to find out you forgot time

To forget must hurt the soul, to be one place then another,
 
to be at the wake of dawn then to be at the dead of night

It must and wear the soul down




To might know you might hurt a loved one

You want to fight it but you can’t

Because its your head it does this to you, you don't know why no one does

They have tried to figure out

But no calls, no answers, just a maybe here and there .




But your soul doesn't want to forgot

It wants to thrive and remember

But still you don't know why your heads like this

It just is but you know one thing

To forgot will be your greatest fear

About this poem
