Why can't we remember?

• Artist: Database Not Found
• Description: The original title was "the Heart beats faster than the Mind calculates." Most of the poems I write are created out of sad or confused emotion, followed by numerous ideas or thoughts that flow about which may not make perfect sense at first. This poem in particular reflects personal feelings that I do or have felt, and yes, it's got something to do with that overlooked word we call "love."

I am lost
and I wish I could find my way home
I wish I could tell them all what I am really feeling
Maybe they'll see it when I'm gone

I only ask for one thing to be pure in my life
the question is will it ever come to stay?
Or will it bliss me for one moment
and fade away

I'll sing and I'll sing until my cry is heard clear
You're never how I portray you to be
We are expecting more than is to be expected
and maybe that is our problem

What is lust over love?
Thin lines between those two
How will we know when this is real?
Trust is our building block

We blind our common sense
With fantasies we all at some point believe will come true
Then you look back at what you've been through...
and you ponder, "Is this worth it?"

The heart beats faster than the mind calculates
Will we ever take from our mistakes?
Or will we repeat our patterns we've gotten oh so used to
Because we're afraid of change

We just have to trust that what we have is real.
