WHISPERS

🌾 A LOST BATTLE 🌾

I wish to forget you.

Yet my mind will not yield to my will.

Try as I might and I have tried.

My being will not allow it.

It is an absurdity.

That drives me to distraction.

Alas it is proving to be.

A losing battle despite my efforts.

I wish I had never.

Laid eyes upon you.

A lie I wish to be true.

Perhaps if I lie I can turn.

This longing for you into loathing.

For if I despise you.

Perhaps I can forget you.
