My Memory

You whisper in my ear

'It will soon be alright'

But I know that’s a lie

As I stare down my fears of the night.

This is just a dream

Or a nightmare in my case

My sanity slowly fades

Leaving, without a trace.

I know life’s not fair

Or at least not for me

Why can’t my terrors just let me be?

I stare at the sky

I stare at the sun

As I wait for your decision

And I prepare to be shunned.

The end no longer counts

No matter how hard you try

And everyone will forget you

No matter how hard you cry.
