You say you don’t remember
Meanwhile I can’t forget
All the times and all the tones
Of every word you ever said
And still I feel that I don’t know
Whether I’ve got credit or I’ve got debt
I don’t know if I still owe
Or whether I’ve paid it all off yet

And now I’m sitting slack jaw
Stunted shattered and afraid
I hear the buzz of the saw
Your cruel love is the blade
Cutting deep, I’m sinking now
Beneath stark waves of pain
Time moved the edge straight down
Past the nerve into my vein

I’ve yet to let myself forget
But you say you don’t recall
I can’t seem to, I just need to
******* give up forget it all
And when rain pours to the sky
The earth crumbles from above
Only then will it pass me by
The memory of your love

You say you want to be a friend
You said its me not you
You said that we would never end
You said we’re a bond we can’t undo
But you did...
and I can’t...
and I won’t...
Forget it.

Time might heal the pain you left behind
The rain might wash away the tears I shed for you
Your colourful image might even fade to black and white
Circumstances might erase the memories and moments we shared and
Life might go on as if nothing as happened
But the space you left behind will remain unfilled and
I will never forget that night, how scary and lost you look

How do you forget what you want to forget
When all you can do -- is think about it.

Give it a read.
We forget more often than we realize we do.

You are gone but not gone
Out of my physical world
but, come alive in my consciousness
every moment I see
something from your world

You ask me to forget,
Yet, you reach out
How do I behave
as though you are a drop in an ocean
while you are
the precious pearl I have ever known
the pain of this part is unbearable
even more when
you ask me to treat you unknown
You go away but you come back when you want - to start form a square one. You have no idea what you mean to me and how painful to treat you as one among another

Get out of my head
Get out of my heart.
It's been 2 years
but I can't think of us apart.
The two of us
were never a we.
So why do I want you
to be with me?
On paper, we looked great
I thought we'd be perfect,
but our moment was ruined
we never really clicked.
I hope you maybe see this,
you'll know who you are.
Please don't forget me
my heart is always scarred.

Hate to admit it
I still think of you;
It's not my fault tho
You are the one
who comes and goes
you don't even know what for.
And I,
I'm telling myself
not to fall
and to forget
and
I'm almost convinced
that I'm done
and-
You make me
all at once
confused
and sore
I'm tired of people who don't know what they want. Be sure or not come back at all.
(not in this place right now but felt like this a while ago. Almost 2 months later I'm done and feels great to close doors)

...you will forget that you forgot. Then tears start to fall.
