You handed me a forget-me-not And i held it between my fingers like a cigarette I looked at you, wide eyes As you turned your back; hands in hair The wind carried my cries; My thoughts sailing the sea As I emptied my brain to the shore You had me addicted I had been inhaling you Letting you swirl through my lungs Burning the back of my throat You had settled in my body Like thick, black tar And there's no way to flush you out How could i forget you?

How it ended
You handed me a forget-me-not And i held it between my fingers like a cigarette I looked at you, wide eyes As you turned your back; hands in hair The wind carried my cries; My thoughts sailing the sea As I emptied my brain to the shore You had me addicted I had been inhaling you Letting you swirl through my lungs Burning the back of my throat You had settled in my body Like thick, black tar And there's no way to flush you out How could i forget you?
this coincidently did partly come true after i wrote it
