I try to forget you
I really do
But I see you
in the things around me

I see your green eyes
In the tops of trees
Along my window

I see your lips
In the petals of flowers
Down my sidewalk

I see your dark hair
In the sky at night
Swirling above me

I want to forget you
But I see you
Day and night

I will not forget you
Until the day
I can no longer leave the house
Until the day
I can no longer look out a window
Until the day
I am no longer

I will see you
Until the day
I am gone
Even then from my resting perch
I will see you

He throws his head back
Rumbling laugh fills the room
His vibrations course through me
His eyes twinkle
And I know...
I know I love him

You peeled back
my thickest layers
so I was just paper thin
Then you ripped
so I was nothing but shreds
Now you play
with my paper heart

She dance
On the bed
For five songs straight
In nothing but
Black satin *******
And a frilly pink blouse

She fell back
Heart beating rapidly
And out of breath

"I hate you!"
She screamed
Until her throat
Went hoarse
Then choked
It out some more

Only to
Curl into a ball
And whisper his name
With a sweet
"I love you"

As if
That was
Really engraved
In her
Cold
Black
Satin
Heart

the wind blows
it whirls my hair
and sends the
bitter sweet sent
of rain my way

all the while
it reminds me
of you

it reminds me
how you always
love how my
hair whirled
it reminds me
that you love the
sent of rain
and kissing me in it

You were like a cloud
So beautiful
So white and pure
So gentle
So delightful
So dreamy

You were like a cloud
So ugly
So gray and dark
So powerful
So scary
So horrid

You were like a cloud
So deceiving

she opened the door
the strong stench of alcohol hit her
bottles lay amongst the floor
all surrounding him
"it's cause you no longer loved me"
he whispered
"it's cause you caused bruises!"
she yelled
she shut that door again
and walked away for the last time
