Memory Loss

Theme: Poetry From The Future

Tick tock, tick tock,
Time goes by...
Second by second,
Night by night.
And what do we have to show for all of this time?
A thought, a shot, a name I forgot.
I forget everything that I go by,
Lost and decayed by mindless time...
What was last week?
What was today?
What happened this morning? I cannot say...
Three years is ok, it felt like it was yesterday.

I lived it, I know it but no one believes,
that yesterday was not a day away.
I remember the day that I broke the door of the closet;
Hurting those that I hold dearest.
I remember the feelings of what happened before,
I remember the panic that was in store,
I remember what I did that day,
it's importance that it carries to this day.
I remember that day but not much in between,
Does that mean those days had nothing to mean?

They must mean something, they surely do.
They just blended together into goo,
No start, no end, not even a middle...
A collective decay that leaves me fickle...
I try to remember, but nothing is there,
Just another day that takes its place...
