I would like to forget

The day my heart was first broken.

I would like to forget

The feeling of assurance

That you are loved,

Because what follows

Is being condemned to loneliness

Forever.


I would like to forget

The feeling of my heart

Twisting itself inside out 

After the person who I thought 

Would be there for me

For the rest of my life

Left me for someone new,

Some place new,

A place that they would change

Forever in.


I would like to forget

The feeling of diminished happiness

After what feels like

The whole world turned against you. 


I would like to forget

The day that I stepped through hell

Just to get you...

But you stayed, 

And I was the one that burned. 

I burned so badly that 

Degrees couldn't measure 

The crippling, bloody pain.


I would like to forget

The day I changed into 

Someone new.

Sure,

I'm strong and more capable

Of handling situations,

But I want to still live in

The day where I thought

Nothing in the world could

Hurt me more than just

A pinch on my upper arm.


I am better,

I tell myself everyday. 

I am strong enough to fight my battles,

And I can build a shelter

Against the storm.

I tell myself that

I'm better without my past,

But there's a part of me that

Won't let go.


I wish I could forget

The day innocence left my being...

But some part of me

Tells me,

Begs me --

It's better that I'm remembering.
