Be careful with the memories you make
because they stay with you and they don't fade
And when they hurt, the wound does not heal completely
You carry a burden that lasts and may never lighten
You are reminded, memories have a way of taking hold
of the past, the present, pulling you back,
keeping you in that place
where only pain resides, and your heart,
breaking into pieces
the sound continues to echo
You never wish to remember
But you never forget.
