לנצח' - משחקי הרעב'

"Don't forget me," I tell you
"Don't forget me"
Don't leave me waiting in the wind
Don't forget my face
that wavers, growing faint
until I'm but a shadow
in a corner of your mind
Store me away in a tiny compartment
away from the rest of your life
tucked into a box that you
will never allow yourself to pull out
or perhaps you will lift the corners
peering cautiously inside
Maybe all that will be left of me
is shame and guilt
A deep throb in the back of your throat
as you swallow hard; as you close your eyes
Yes, I'm growing dark.
For awhile I'll be the shimmer of a dream
in which you awaken drenched in a cold sweat
afraid of the risk you took
Oh, sadly my smile will fade
into a bittersweet memory
disappearing within the distance of time
