I Forget

With the passing of time I start to forget.

The good and the bad, it all fades away

She had made a mark on my heart,

but I can't remember why.

I can hardly remember her face, her voice, or the warmth of her touch.

It disturbs me how I can so easily forget,

when the only thing I remember is her name

and even that requires deep thought.

I wonder though if I'm better off not remembering.

Maybe it's my heart's defense mechanism

To keep it from bleeding out once more.
