Often you end up doing something
You claimed that you'd never do;
For me, one such thing has been,
Forgetting all about you.
Something so evil is bound to come back,
And haunt me forever -
Selfishly breaking my promise,
I was trying to be clever.
Abandoning reality, I told myself many lies,
About you, me, and us -
Fooling myself, I believed it'd help me
To solve my life's mess.
Not a shred of truth was to be found
In the darkness engulfing my soul;
I let go of the one person,
Who was capable of making me whole.
I have paid the price,
But I wonder if it's enough,
Karma or perhaps it's fate,
Laughing in the face of my bluff.
Somewhere down the road,
I'll end up remembering you again;
I fear that I won't be able to
Deal with the ensuing horror, the pain!
I broke my promise, letting you go
From my heart and memories too -
The idiot that I am, thinking it'll be over,
Just like that, but all along you knew.
My only hope, in the end,
Is that you'll be more forgiving than me,
Undeserving that I am, the truth within a lie,
Only you might be able to see.
