These sheets whisper to me
tales of comfort and stories of love
these pillows tell me
of all the bad thoughts of mine that they've stolen because they care for me more than you ever will
these books take me
to a place where I can forget about you for a small while, and maybe experience happiness for the first time in a while
these walls reach out to me
for they see everything, every smile, every tear
they know all of my weaknesses
they've seen me in my darkest hour
just like you have

But the difference is,
these walls absorb and forget
and will always be here for me when I need to let it all out again
and you got tired of hearing what I had to say,
so you left

And so I've decided to try and forget about you
and these sheets, these pillows, these books,
these walls
are starting to help erase you from my memory
and forget everything we ever were
