What is something I can feel but cannot remember
Like a sliver of happiness hidden from the eye
Or an inkling of a memory slowly passing by
The nostalgia from the childhood I never had

What is something I can feel but cannot remember
Like a insect crawling from my hand to my calf
Or an itch from a scrape I do not seem to have
These forgotten idiosyncrasies of mine are poison

I feel the sun's warmth burning on my skin
But I don't remember the last time I've left my room
I feel the sun's rays penetrating through my window
But I don't remember the last time I looked outside

I feel like I'm floating on air, weightless in space
But I am one with gravity that keeps me burdened
I feel like my days are infinite and blending together
But I am one with the outdated calendar on my wall

What is something I can feel but cannot remember
Is it a sense of peace from my long forgotten past
Or is it the piece of me I left behind in my old life

It is the feeling of regret that washes over me
From the memories I have erased from my mind
