If you forget how to forget,
You remember it all.
If your past is made crisp,
Its pain will not fall.
Your hopes affixed,
Your fears intact,
No new smiles mixed,
Your joys subtract
Themselves in shame,
Nixed by lame fact.
Bliss ransacked by mem’ries
With too much truth.
The past too clear
For the happy seas.
Don’t ruin my dream.
It’s better touched up
With false joys.
My life would only seem
Empty, full of noise.
