Lumos

 I am not of this world when I forget

Without memories there can be no regret

Feelings and emotions better left upon the shelf

I've been having difficulties keeping to myself


I'm not of this world when I forget

World's beyond how do I connect

Forgotten spaces and faces and embraces

Lost in the past, in the dark, in stasis


Poor in memory, still rich in friends

To remind of tradition, kosher and trends

Living in screens with my digital elf

Having difficulties keeping to myself


How will I survive when I no longer live

When will I live, with all my love to give

Like the stars, older than a million years

Hope burns bright amidst all my fears


Will I remember how to believe

Trust reminders coming oft from eve

To banish sadness with mighty tears

Let go of pain and all its gears


I'd rather be alone in the end

Hold loved ones in their time to transcend

Let my memories keep me company

Of joys and sorrowful harmony


Order we cannot decide

Truths have no plans to hide

What is true and what is false

Leave emotions starving within walls
