One day I will be gone
And all that will be left of me
Is the pain my name will cause when you hear it
Like a venom burning down your throat

And people will write pointless letters of R.I.P
On pages of worthless connections
That will soon fade as the "new thing" comes out

They won't even bother to write "Rest In Peace" but they will
Bother to write how they wished they have known me better
They wished they wouldn't have hurt me or betrayed me

You will cry
For days
For weeks maybe
But then it will pass, just like everything does
Like everyone did, you will forget

You will start to forget the echo in my voice  
When I tell a sad story of how my heart has been
Broken for so many times

You will forget, the way you made me happy
The sound of breathless laughter
That will soon make you cry

You will forget, the scars that made me the way I am
The beautiful damage in my body, in my thoughts

And more of crying
Because that's all that's left to do
When I'm no longer here to try and make me feel
Like I'm not a worthless piece of atoms that combined
To create a body that I despise a little too much

You will cry, and you will miss me
But then you will forget
Because that's what humans do, they forget

It’s okay to forget
I don't mind.

Because when you hear my name
There will still be venom piercing through your brain
As you wish the words that left unsaid
Were buried with me.
