Forgetting
I had to remember to forget
The howling rustle of the leaves
The chaos from the T.V. set
I saw the shapeless silhouette
That crept behind the dancing trees
I had to remember to forget
All is not over yet
More howling as the widow grieves
The chaos from the T.V. set
She is left cold and hungry and wet
Cursing those ****** thieves
I had to remember to forget
That innocent, frail brunette
Wiping her eyes with her billowy sleeves
The chaos from the T.V. set
She smokes another cigarette
Ashes fall onto bruised knees
I had to remember to forget
The chaos from the T.V. set
