Contrition

by Matthew-A-Cain

If I could kill a memory I'd kill the ones of you and me Cause honestly, none of them are worth remembering. The good ones make me smile but they call my heart a liar And besides they were just a short reprieve The bad ones keep me up at night Wishing I could set things right And they just cut me deeper still Honestly, I only stayed because I'm a sucker for a heart that needs healing If I could kill a memory would you let me sleep in peace Would you please leave my dreams and let me be.

Has anyone else ever had that one person that you know isn't good for you and never will be but you can't help but think about them and the way you wish things could have been?
