Some short poems I wrote while staying at Washington DC
Forgotten Pain
Every moment faded from the mind
Memories I promised to keep were silent
And the only proof that they ever existed
Were the tears that wounded my core
I cried over a ghost,
I ache for a loss that I don’t remember
Alone in a moment that drags forever
I speak without a voice
Nothing I say can console me
The morning sun fades
And my lonely mind
Couldn’t find the light
I’m lost
I’m drowning
And I don’t know why
They used to call this a victory
To live so long
That you forget every moment
That ever meant a thing to you
Come and see
Live forever
Bury you sons
Bury your daughters
And live long enough to forget their names
Call it a victory
As you cry over a ghost
Forgotten Pain
Every moment faded from the mind
Memories I promised to keep were silent
And the only proof that they ever existed
Were the tears that wounded my core
I cried over a ghost,
I ache for a loss that I don’t remember
Alone in a moment that drags forever
I speak without a voice
Nothing I say can console me
The morning sun fades
And my lonely mind
Couldn’t find the light
I’m lost
I’m drowning
And I don’t know why
They used to call this a victory
To live so long
That you forget every moment
That ever meant a thing to you
Come and see
Live forever
Bury you sons
Bury your daughters
And live long enough to forget their names
Call it a victory
As you cry over a ghost
