What if we just forgot
All things gone and all things lost
Forgot all the bloodshed and the pain
What if we chose to remember
Instead of living life as a lie
With false memories
Your past forgotten
And yourself
Hidden in the fog
Of memories loved and lost
Forgot the remnants
Remembered the living
Recall the past
Instead of relying on memories
That never happened
Live in the now
Instead of the shattered bits
Of a past
Forgotten
