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
