Forgetting You

In the depths of my mind, where dreams are conceived,

I strive to forget you, hoping to be finally relieved.
For your absence brings a pain, deep and true,
Aching wounds that bleed, a constant residue.

I walk the lonely path, where memories reside,
Trying to bury them, searching far and wide.
But echoes of your laughter, they linger on,
Haunting me, tormenting, until the break of dawn.

I close my eyes, hoping to erase your face,
To expunge your touch, your warm embrace.
Yet images flicker like a visceral flame,
Reminding me of a love, once without shame.

Each day, I tread further, hoping for a reprieve,
That time's gentle hand will grant me a reprieve.
But thoughts of you, like specters, they persist,
Persistently tearing at my resolve, ceaselessly insist.

Forgetting about you, a herculean task,
Like shedding off shadows in life's frantic mask.
But still, I soldier on, determined to break through,
To find solace in a world far from you.

One day, perhaps, the clouds will finally part,
And I will find peace, a renewed and healed heart.
But until then, I'll keep searching, relentless and strong,
Forgetting about you, until memories are gone.
