Memories That Do Me No Good Not once have I forgotten the time we spent together. The memories play over and over in my head like a miniature movie that never ends. I’m awake, I can’t sleep. Food does not taste good to me. I wish I could go back to the time when we were together. I would change everything. I would apologize for all the wrongs I’ve done, and make you stay with me. But I cannot, and instead I’m left with memories that I can’t get rid of. I wish that I could just forget. If only I could, these memories that do me no good. These movie trailers of memories play continuously as if I wasn’t there, as if I didn’t know what was said. I know what I have lost I know I will never find it again. No one can compare to you. You are the gold standard… the golden rule. Your light shines brighter than any star… and yet I can’t find you. I have no idea where you are. There is nothing I can kiss, there is nothing I can hold. You’re the apparition haunting my soul. What am I to do with these memories that do me no good? They torment me. I feel like a fool. Driving me crazy as nothing else could, are these memories that do me no good. |
