Never Forget, Never Remember

I wrote this a couple years ago, it's about my mom. I suppose anyone could make it their own though.

I need help
I need to sleep
So I may remember
what to keep
Of you my heart
shall never be free
I am not blind
yet I do not see
All of those tears
you have caused me
I do not know you
or your voice
but all of the pain
was never my choice
It came from you
all of the suffering
I have been through
Will never bring back the tears
I have shed
nor bring you back
from the dead
I will never forget
and never remember
how much I wished
I could wake you
from your eternal
slumber...
