The burden of memory

Is a strong one to bear

And what really strikes me

Is that it isn’t fair

It isn’t fair

My worst memory is

not something I did

But rather something worse,

Something I witnessed

It haunts my dreams

Made my belief in love crack

And now I hope to forget everything from that night

Do everything to push that memory back

They say it’s fine

It’s not truly trauma

But only I know

How much it frayed my lifeline

That was my tipping point

My Roman Empire

And now I try to forget

As if that’ll help my cries
