Memories

Memories Memories are funny things these remnants of our past They never really leave our minds they last and last and last Some are good, some are bad and some just break our hearts Yet nonetheless we keep them all for they are all the parts The parts and pieces of our lives stored in within our being Some are vivid some are vague and some are not worth seeing But take our memories away these footprints of our lives Erase them from our minds and souls just cut them out with knives I think you'd find that what you took was personality And now an empty shell is left I don't remember me I don't remember how I loved I don't remember who I don't remember how to sing the songs have all gone too I don't remember how to cry I don't remember tears I don't remember anything that happened all those years Please let me keep my memories put them back where they should be They make the person who I am and I really kinda' like me
