The Poem Not Remembered

What was the title, the name?
Who was it by?
Was the Ending the same?
Did the words ryhme?
Searching for a sentence, a line, a word!
Where did the words go, rhythm and time?
Will it come or will it decide to hide?

The audience, watching and waiting, laughing and bored.
Should I give up
and say I can't remember?
Or should I stay with it and let my face go red?
My memory is dead,
it's somewhere else.
It has deserted me.
