Memories plant the ability to look backwards on one’s reality
So that they may change
And realize what was worth the pain
And what was only a mistake.

Although wishing for amnesia
Makes for a painful breakup song
I doubt anyone would truly
Wish for something so cruel.

Self awareness revoked
Just sitting in a chair
Not even conscious
While staring at whatever lies right in front

Not understanding why people hug you
And why they're crying
Not understanding what
Crying even is

As the mumbles
Incomprehensible
Escape from chapped lips
And dire eyes

I wonder if you’d even know of your end.

I look across the desolate wastelands
Small fires are still burning themselves away
and I wonder
what happened here?

Her scars shine clearly on her beautiful skin
Like the pain in her subtle smile
and I wonder
what happened here?

Waking up, I can still feel the pain
Unsourced but stronger than I can describe
and I wonder
what happened here?

The tension between us all is unbearable
No one person can look another in the eye
and I wonder
what happened here?

I guess I'll never know...

You asked me what I wanted from you.
I want you to make me forget.
Make me forget everything.
Make me forget who and what I was.
Make me forget what year it is.
Make me forget who the president is.
Hell,
make me forget what planet I'm on.

Erase my mind
of every memory,
of every person
good and bad from existence.
And if I should happen to remember,
make me forget everything again.

Except your name.

The pendulum is a bull shark.
The hour of the savior is a pregnant bride's swan dive into the water.
The mighty mile is a figure 8 in the scoot of
non slop socks across the bare linoleum.
Blood and bright are the redness of the blanket.
divine terror at one hart beat per hour.
Finger nails green and black against a back drop
of the brightest, bluest eyes you've ever seen;
deep pools of liquid light that will shine when least expected.
And the obligation isn't one at all,
for when i breath in,
you breath out.
And when I gave consent 1000 years ago times 10-
you performed the exorcism under the shroud of my amnesia
and the spotted light from a crystal disco ball.
Shards of light moved upon the face of all the space between the stars.
My heart was in the highlands but now its in your hands.

I tried taking a trip
down memory lane
but it was closed
to thru traffic

So I called the department
of transportation
and they told me
it was all in my head

what if one day,
i wont remember who you are?

what if one moment will cause me,
to forget all the memories we share?

Will you take my hand?
and try to understand?

or will you let me go?
if you do, just please let me know

but i promise you, if you stay
i'll remember it all again one day

because i may forget who i was,
but never who i loved...

my heart won't forget you...
