How Can I Forget?

Rating: 5.0


HOW CAN I FORGET?
How can I forget the rays from the sun
The light from the moon
And sparkling of stars in the sky?
Hard to let go the touch of breeze and rain
The flow of blood in veins
And the glimpse of my eyes to the brain.
How can I forget I ‘ve fallen off my horse
The torment I see and feelings it breeds
At the battle of Evil field thousands times?
How can I forget I saw the shame and I stood by it all day?
How can I forget the timesthat change,
Some that won't and some that remains the same?
Oh yes... the pat of friends and scorns of theirs
I can'tforget the pour of shameful wine and mocking feast.
The wriggling of insulting tongues and belittling thoughts
How can I forget the promise to still love, kind and cheer
That there I stand and hide my grieve,fear and threat
Hard to forget the shame and pain at market of Digoa
That seemed fresh as a new day paint all day on
I remember my scars and choice of fate
Like the roar of a clawless and toothless lion in pain
How can i forget I keep you in memory not to repay evil
But to invade the sin and use its scenes
