How can a
memory be so hard to take?
So hard
to take that you can’t remember
So hard
to remember that you can’t take it
How can a
memory be so forgotten?
So buried
under layers of life
So
lifeless yet burning away
How can a
memory be so elusive?
So
untraceable you don’t know where to start
So
puzzling without all the parts
And why
are some memories so frightful
And
others so delightful
Some are
imprinted so we never forget
Some are
like smoke on the wind
So
promise me the memory is there
That I
can search and destroy it’s hold
But
through all the layers of me
It’s so
hard to see it
Yet I
feel the memory burning
I smell
the smoke on the wind
