    Thanks...but the ending has a double-meaning that I didn't intend initially

    Time
    *****
    I see the faces in my dreams,
    but cannot remember the names.

    I see the names upon a wall,
    but cannot remember the faces.

    I see the map,
    but cannot remember the places.

    Has time robbed me of my memories,
    or spared me from the horrors of them.

    That's probably one of the more intellingent things I've heard on here- and something I more or less try to live by.
