-Memories Never Last-
I read my mind like a book but for some reason I’m missing pages
Stripped away day by day, I can’t remember back to my early ages
Tears fall for my forgotten times and inside I feel heartless
As new memories take their place, old ones are cast into darkness
Every second I try to push my mind and make it rewind
But new images and thoughts build a wall that I can’t get behind
An enclosed storage space housing the memories time forgot
Left alone in the shadows where they decay and they rot
I stare into a picture of myself back in a cold night in December
But all that stares back are visions of a time I can’t remember
With thoughts and places beyond a line that can’t be crossed
I step into familiar surroundings and yet still………I am lost
Clawing my way through a vast maze attempting to reach the past
But there is no exit from this tomb, because memories never last

-Or Do They......-
But memories can live on; they get passed on through each generation
I mean, how else could we obtain a depiction of the world’s creation
Memories are merely hidden, but through evolution they survive
That is why we have humans experiencing déjÃ- vu of times from past lives
Memories may elude us and where they go could remain a mystery
But if memories never last, then how are we humans creating history
The fact is we hold them all the time, memories can never die
That is how people can obtain thoughts of ancestors gone by
They may get locked away but our memories will forever be
People never forget, some are merely just struggling to find the key
