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.
