Learning to Forget
I want to forget who you are,
And even more who you’ve become
But I’m afraid that will never happen,
Once everything’s said and done.
I wish I could just press delete
And erase you from my mind,
But unfortunately I’m a part of this dreadful species,
Called the humankind.
I don’t even know who you are anymore,
So I shouldn’t even care,
But every time I hear your name,
I can’t help but get this feeling of despair.
It creeps deep down inside me,
Like a nagging little flea,
And makes me want to go on,
a SCREAMING, SHOUTING, spree.
I don’t know why I let you get to me,
Especially after all this time
I should’ve listened to all my friends
Who told me you were a slime.
Now you’ve morphed into this stranger,
You swore you’d never become.
I just hope that one day,
I’ll be able to feel more then just numb.
So I’d like to make a toast to you,
And to the end of all your lies,
Cheers, you’ve been nothing but a hypocrite,
So I bid to you goodbye.
I am stepping into the sunlight,
As you fade into the shadows of my mind
Losing your memory has not obliterated me,
It has set me free from being confined.
