Can the pain
haunting me
be washed away?
I don't want to remember
what it's like
to know the truth
-
Can my past
scarred by bloody vengeance
destroy the pain?
I don't want to remember
what it's like
to feel a thing
-
Can the breath
my saving grace
disappear forever?
I don't want to remember
what it's like
to breathe this sour air
-
Can these lips
cracked by aging grudge
speak not again?
I don't want to remember
what it's like
to enjoy the echo of my laughter
-
Can this tyrant
bellowing orders
turn me to stone?
I don't want to remember
what it's like
to think for myself
-
Can these friends
who've held me dear
cease to care?
I don't want to remember
what it's like
to love them so
-
Can this wound
forged by a falling tear
kill me now?
I don't want to remember
what it's like
to live again
-
I'll be your slave
and your apprentice
will you cleanse my mind of them?
I don't want to remember
what it's like—
my life before
-
They'll search for me
and not rest until I'm found
will you stop them?
I don't want to remember
what it's like
to see the light of day
-
You know I won't kill them
I know you'll do it for me
Please leave them be
I don't want to remember
what it's like
to see them fight
-
I am a martyr
dying in vain
to save their hides
I don't want to remember
what it's like
to save the day
-
I'm dying for them
so they can live
don't tell them the sacrifice
I don't want them to remember
what I was like
when I was their hero
Author's Note: This litterally came out of nowhere...kind of Robin's responsive thoughts after "Apprentice Part I"...I love poetry. Hope you enjoy! Read and Review!
