Sepulchered Memories

Sepulchered Memories

The thoughts I wish not to recall
For reasons why I loathe the past
My dreams and themes I must forget
For they will alter future traits
The past holds memories so dire
Remove them from my new domain
inter them deep within a cave
Where they may mingle with the sands
in time as in a capsule blue
My future holds the key to life

very nice. I like the idea of future holding the key to life! (also though, I hold my own past memories very dear)
