I tried to rip you from my memories
like pages from a book.

I tried to scrape you from my skin
like you were a disease growing
within my veins.

I tried to remove you from my thoughts
like you never existed

I tried to forget that sleepless night
Like it was my mission.

I tried not to remember the empty words
like they were poison

I tried to be the fighter
like I was defeat less

I tried to pretend
Like you didn't break me.

For 6 years I tried.
