Don't remember much about life...
I don't remember my girlfriend that one summer, or the football game that cold Spring. Or the way my brother yelled at me, and the way my sister sings.

He defeated my demons, and told them to leave, the knife at my desk no longer wished to cleave. He told me of his friends, one covered in the flag, another one on fire, and another, living mire.
