Memories I wish to burn
into flames I'll never extinguish
Memories I love to hate
for good times they remind
Memories that bring a smile
yet my eye streak a tear
Memories so dear to life
but cherish I wish never
Memories a somber day bring
for my soul weeps for times gone
Memories I'd rather bury
underground never look upon
Memories deeply engraved
like a tattoo printed on
Memories I wish could fly
like lonely birds never return
