I can’t remember
Way back when
When everything
Seemed perfect again
I can’t remember
Way back when
The skies and clouds
Weren’t gray again
I can’t remember
Way back then
When life held me
Away from sin
I can’t remember
Anything
Without feeling
Odd simplicity
I can’t remember
Life as it stood
Waiting for my calling
Watching for my mood
I feel I can’t remember
Everything you say
Because everything you did
Used to take my breath away
I feel I can’t remember
Anything that was
Without remembering something
That had to do with us
Slowly, I am recovering
Remembering things that were
Like all the ways I acted
When I wasn’t angry at her
This void is slowly filling
Collecting things that are
Things I don’t have to search for
Don’t have to look afar.
Yes, this void is slowly filling up
Gathering things I know
Things that will stand by me
Pieces that won’t ever go
But as this void is jamming in
These things of common life
I can’t help but remember now
The things that I sufficed
I’ll try hard to be happier
As this false-named void is full
Remembering things that don’t need you
And surely don’t need her
But I promise I’ll stand away from you
I’ll turn and look away
I’ll rest here, trying to fill my void
Until my better days.
