pain from a memory

We try to walk forward

But try to stand still

To remember the past

But to forget the memories

To weep

But not cry

To show emotion

But to not show fear

We try to resist the temptation of hate

But the memories past try to control our fate

From those of loved ones that now have past

To the ones of recent where we had a blast

Memories are sad

But happy to

To be with people some have forgotten

But also remember the pain of their death

But if you hold on to the pain and try to move forward

You will only stand still frozen in time

So we must do both in an endless war

To walk forward

And yet stand still
