Poems
Nov 2012
Let me forget you...
It was under the warmth of the sun
That the first tear fell
It was the beginning of "done"
And the opening of my hell
You had broken my soft trusting heart
Crashed into my wall
You pulled me apart
And made me fall
I want to forget your eyes
That haunt me now
I want to forget the lies
But I don't know how
After every chance I gave
You wasted each one
After each path I paved
You hit me where it stung
And now I'm crying to myself
Because you called again
It's not good for my health
You aren't now, you weren't then
I wipe your face from my dreams
I want to escape
It's harder than it seems
It's like your on tape
Replayed in my head
And when I tried to press rewind
I pressed play instead
Won't you just let me forget you?
Your tearing me down
I'm pushing through
This unbearable crowd
Watching me sail across the sea
Sinking into the waves
Watching the sky fall on me
As my world caves
You won't think to reach in
I can see your back as you walk away
It's this breaking with In
That told me you'd never stay
Pushed farther beneath the current
I'm fencing with the shards of my heart
This times different
I was broken from the start
Just let me forget you
I'm better off that way
If I do
And you don't stay
