faded lines or words that i wrote
phrases, i can no longer make out
cannot remember what they once expressed
where is this piece of my past
something i must have suppressed
though once important enough
to write it doen in this book
carefully scripted, with all time that it took
what made me erase all of these phrases
did i have a change of heart
or did i merely need empty pages
though i started out fresh
they never looked quite the same
once pale yellow, crisp and pure
now by these etched shadows one can tell
it has been well used and has its age
is it so good to erase one`s past
choose not to remember
or keep the memories right here
learn life`s lessons, surrender
which part of my life
is or was more valid what`s the universal truth
you may have your own thoughts on this
just one favor i have to ask
be so kind, take this eraser with you
