I've forgotten you
the only way I can
You no longer have a face
Your laugh no longer a sound I hear  
Songs are skipped
instead of played on repeat
I can't remember if your eyes were blue
maybe green? were they brown
Instead you are a name
replaced with neutral terms
A memory for stories
that exist only because you had
at one point

-em vidar

Made even
the sweet memories
have a bitter aftertaste

-em vidar

It was always a losing game
when two people
could never be honest

-em vidar

I wonder if it would have been easier
If we had ended hating each other
instead of feigning indifference
and having our moments
slip into only memories

-em vidar

I listen to those songs
you hate
the ones where the words make no sense
but the meanings
you feel

-em vidar

always feels like
the end

-em vidar

For each new promise made
we broke the one before


-em vidar
