I've Forgotten

In the shadows of the past

Lie my dreams of yesterday

I put them out of sight

I bade them go away.

They are gone from me forever

My memories of you

Banished from my mind

So I can start my life anew

These teardrops come unbidden

I prayed they'd cease to fall

Dear God, I guess I haven't ---

Forgotten --- after all.

My Dream

I dreamed I died and went to hell

I awoke to find it true

It's the only way I can describe

My existence without you.
