Remember

"Remember" she says, 
Remember to wash your dirty clothes
And your dirty thoughts, and your
Sinful body. 

"Remember" she says, 
That the bright light will 
Keep you from seeing sometimes, 
And though you cannot see beyond, 
That does not mean that you will 
never see again .

"Remember" he says, 
You are an object, a mere
Torn blanket from my past
That I will call for warmth should
I find myself in need. 

"Remember" he says, 
To come back to me,
Despite my maltreatment of
Your worth. 

"Remember" she says, 
I am so lost, please help 
Me find my way, as we are
All not so fortunate to live in 
Present, like you. 

"Remember" I say, 
I have no where to turn,
So I picture the pews I once
Rested my knees upon, and 
I fall victim in my bed, in the middle
Of the hopeless night, and I 
Pray again, like when I was 
naive, and believed in you more,
And I ask you once more, 
Please restore me, because 
I have given my strength to 
​The others.
