Memories

Can I get rid of the void that a memory creates?  

I go around the world, making new ones… would it even mask it?  

Maybe a new place, a new set of eyes to look through, or perhaps an entire life…  

Would it, though?

Would it erase the emotions that are inflicted whenever the memory flashes through my mind?  

That one tiny speck… who would have thought…!

Can I fill it in by adding one more or maybe two more?  

I’ll forget it, I say… while remembering the wrinkles of the smile from that memory.

Would that make me feel complete? All those bags of what the world says as good memories and or what, at the end of the day, it would force as lessons!

Alas, I say, rubbing my eyes so hard I almost reach my mind, while trying to remember the color of the world.

So, do I remember the actual version of the memory, the wrecked remains, or the easiest one?
