_I envy_

_Those with the power_

_To forget…_

_Memory_

_Is a curse,_

_A burden_

_I need lifted…_

I pray

Each day

That the memories

Of you

Will go away.

Each and every

Wretched memory

Loops in my head

Like a horrible song,

Why

Did I

Deal with you

For so long?

_I remember _

_Everything…_

From the start,

Even when we

We’re going strong,

I knew,

You

Were a red flag,

These torturous memories drag

Me down.

_I remember…_

That time

We went out

To dinner,

That’s the day

When you

Just had to

Make that call,

And left me alone

For the whole night.

And the bill?

Don’t worry,

I payed for it all.

_I remember…_

That time

You and her

Got just

A little too close

For friends…

Yeah,

These memories,

The ability

To remember,

They cause pain,

Immense mental strain,

From this,

What do I gain?

_It’s easier to list_

_What I’ve lost…_

My youth is gone…

Your sickening voice,

I have to live with it

Ringing in my ears

Throughout my years,

I have no choice.

_I want nothing more_

_Than to forget…_

The ways

You’ve hurt me,

The days

We fought,

But they’re stuck

In my head.

_I’d rather_

_Be dead…_

I thought

You were bad

Back then,

But things only

Got worse.

_I remember…_

That time

I was talking

With my friend,

And you got

Too jealous,

Made my friendship

Come to an end.

_I remember…_

That time

I saw

You and her

Kiss,

The feeling of

Betrayal

Still lingers.

_I remember…_

That time

You sarcastically apologized

For breaking

My heart

And my trust.

_I remember…_

That time,

In a blind rage,

You hit

Me,

For our relationship,

That was it.

_But, _

_Not for the memories…_

__

_They kept on_

_Coming back…_

__

_Now I’m stuck,_

_Searching for a way_

_To lift this burden…_

__

_The burden…_

_Of memory._
