Disappearing Memories Poem by Bradley Lester

Her memories are leaving me, each day I stand and wake
I still remember how we were, despite my heartbreak fate
The days are getting longer, the nights are even cold
She used to make my days seem short, and warm my night so bold

Her memories are still inside, I need to leave them be
I fear that they will re-ignite, the love inside of me
They come and go without control, a flash across my mind
I change my walk, I change my talk, my heart I fear they'll find

So on and on I go each day, hoping they will rest
Within my soul, with peace at last, I know this is the best
I wish I could erase them so, and wipe them clean at last
And carry on along my way, the present in my past
