you forget so easy

[sll]

you forget so easyI used to thinkbefore these trees grew greenthat shields of light would protect methat when the water rose to my chestat the same time, it would leak through my bonesbut you forget so easywhat is in a hello, what is in a goodbye,can you tell me your name, this world, this place,can you sell me the days, the nights, my face,why can't you remember thatyou died youngyou died youngI am the crow that lifts you off your kneesI am the crow begging to be your feedAnd I am the crow with crippled wingsListening to the melodies your battered heart sings
