Memories are painful Memories are a human trait My actions were shameful To be reminded is fate As I drink, I drink to forget I know that you deserved better That night is a memory in my head forever set I know she'd still be here had I not met her I still remember that night years ago The night you were gone in my stead It should've been me, but oh no I then held you in my arms as you bled Are memories all bad? Sometimes I think so But in the end they don't all make me sad They are a lesson to be learned from, I know. None of it matters in the end, I suppose Im just another creature whose happiness I sometimes must feign So to whoever reads this poem of woe Do not make my mistakes, lest you feel my pain.
