Notes for terminate and stay resident

elephants never forget
but I forget
your name your face
and everything about you

Nothing can remain
when you take these things away
love dignity pride
leave me only shame

Some say all tends to order
Some all to chaos goes
What's left when it all falls apart
no one knows

nothing ever forgotten
something you cannot grasp
even when my mind is empty
something small will last.
