I Forgot

Sat down to write the words
that I'd once written,
but they were lost in fire
like the times that I've hidden
A treasure map tells the way
to a place where precious
things are kept
Secrets held in memories
are what's been left behind
Disappointment, life, and pain,
daily life's struggles
Enjoyment, love, and joy,
love everlasting and
unconditional
like the ocean and the
sky are free
like a liar and a thief
are exiled
contradictions and adaptations
only the best and worse
of times remembered
all the rest of times are
better left alone
