I Wish I Could Have Forgotten

I want to erase everything.
My memories...
My past...

I've seen so many things in life,
That were too cruel...
Too brutal...
Too unbearable...

I wish I could forget everything,
And move on,
But it seems impossible.

Images of my past are deeply rooted,
In my heart...
In my soul...

It's been stabbed through me,
By a cold, icy blade,
Leaving permanent stains and scars.

I wish everything could pass on by like a breezy wind.
But it will never make a difference.
I'll inevitably be captured,
By the howling wind.
