I Don't Think You Know

Forget Me

I can still hear the sound of trees,

The branches snapping under foot,

Still hear the birds chirping,

Eyes as black as fire place soot.

I wouldn't have left if I didn't have to,

This is just something I want you to know,

Because before it all changed that day,

I would have followed wherever you go.

This isn't a poem for forgiveness,

I know it's too late for that,

I know now that you've moved on,

No you'd never want me back.

I just want you to know that I'm headstrong,

That I'm scared, quiet, insecure,

I just couldn't resist the dark side,

I was pulled in by its foreboding, it's lure.

But I want to be the girl you match people to,

The girl you consider as your forever best friend,

But no I'm not delusional,

I realised one day the fantasy had to end.

So I wish you forever happiness,

That you are what you wanted to be,

And I know it's better for both of us,

If I let you go, forget me.
