Memories

Each day that passes
I fall far behind
I am stuck in the past
The time slowly ticks by

I want to erase these memories
They have done no good for me
It has me thinking hateful things
And wanting my eternal sleep

My endless river of tears
The unforgettable fights
My heartbroken fears
The many sleepless nights

The days with no smiles
My happiness erased
The silence thick in the air
The sorrow on your face

I have to stop this nonsense
It's unhealthy for the soul
I must force myself to move on
And try my best to forget it all

Now as a new day begins
You are gone in the past
A mere being in this world
A human that would never last
