Amnesiac

Don't remember the first cycle, 
Don't remember the first butterfly I caught; 
Don't remember the first picnic beside the stream, 
Don't remember the first day of the school; 
Don't remember the first trip in dad's new car, 
Don't remember the first walk to the temple; 
Don't remember the first dance in rain, 
Don't remember the first poem I wrote; 
Don't remember the last time I walked down the memory lane, 
Don't remember the last train ride; 
Don't remember the last trip to the club, 
Don't remember the last book I read; 
Don't remember the last match I watched, 
Don't remember the last song I heard, 
Don't remember the last time I saw you; 
Don't remember the last life, 
The memory has failed to live this long; 
Surrendering to the clashes with the brain, 
They talked and fought on what to store, 
But the conclusion was not in sight; 
The all powerful brain played the trick; 
As the heavens have done before, 
Cutoff the supply lines and make it die; 
And here I end up being amnesiac.
