The Forgotten Series

 to be forgotten
  perhaps the greatest tragedy to befall a human life
all of the joy and love, all of the pain and suffering, all of the memories, all of the contributions, all of the work
erased 
as if those experiences never occurred, never meant anything to anyone
how many are there?
the forgotten certainly outnumber the remembered
terrifying
the possibility of living an entire life only to be forgotten
comforted
only in the knowledge that energy inhabits all of us 
and 
energy 
does
not
die
