Lost

Where can I go to remember?
All is trapped
No, forgotten
Erased
How can I ever know what I felt as my life was coming to an end?
Who out there can tell me what I saw?
What were the images these eyes were force to see before they closed 
to leave me in the world of no return?
These images haunt me
Trying to constantly reinvent themselves so that they can come to life
In an abyss of memories they lie
Swallowed up into a black hole where forgotten memories go to live out the rest of their days
“I want to live” are the screams my memories echo in my mind
My mind yells back in defense… “NO!”
