You haven't only broken my heart,
you've broken
every
single
piece
of me.
I tried to forget your hands,
but I can still see your fingerprints
anywhere;
I tried to forget your promises,
but they're written
all over my skin;
I tried to forget the color of your eyes,
but everytime I look up at the sky,
it's always there,
staring down at me;
I tried to forget the way
that you used to move your lips
when you talked,
but I think it has became
an habit of mine now;
I tried to forget you,
your completely self,
even your most insignificant freckle.
Oh, I have tried.
But how can I -
if even in the silence
I can hear your voice?
If even in the dark
I can see your silhouette?
If even when I'm with someone else,
you are still there,
in the back of my mind,
talking about your ambitions
and your ugliest fears?
How can I forget you -
If you are
every
single
thing
I want to remember?
