The Pain of Memory


by Damion Hamilton



It's awful

You remember everything

You never forget

Every insult

Every bruise

Every scar

Every burn

Every nick

Every blow 


You never forget


I never forget 


The pain of memory


You think you forget


But you never forget


The dread of some wholly misfortune


The pain that left you breathless


You think you forgot


But you never forget


The silly pain of your life


And the older you get

The more pain is stored

In memory


I'll prove it


Drive to work


Or drive someplace


You have been dozens time
Before


You remember every bump in the road


You never forget
