The Remnants of What’s Left Behind
The Remnants of What’s Left Behind
1. Do you ever forget?
Forgetting your house keys or IDs?
Looking for something but found nothing?
Close your eyes
What do you spy?
A blank or void
Vision destroyed
Replace vision with recollection
Imagine living life with no direction
2. The World of the Lost
Be it kind
Be it foul
My memory has forgotten
A vivid scene once before
A mute and blurred image now
My memory is tarnished
Forget me not
Forget me now
My memory is gone
3. My Childhood
The precious moments of childhood
Are fleeing for good
Little remnants remained
Not much was gained
See it as you may
Nothing will stay
4. Theories
My memories
Where have they gone?
Have they simply vanished?
Permanently banished?
Leaving nothing behind
Except for blanks to find
The brain remembers all
Seeing, touching, smelling, feeling, hearing
All locked within a wall
Deep within the mind you continue fearing
Is it all an illusion?
Causing this confusion?
To make one’s memory
To fake one’s treasury
All is asunder
Tears are shed
One does not fall under
This hell of a bummer
5. Question
What’s lost is never forgotten
What’s forgotten is forever lost
For a man like me
I must move on
One last question remains
Not just for me but for all
Would you consider
A memory forgotten
A memory wasted?
