To Deal With the Pain

To deal with the pain I?ve retrained my mind Every time I have a memory of you Every time I have a dream about you at night I will visualize a red button that says delete Just like when you press play and record at the same time I will erase your memory from my mind From every kiss to every hug to every I love you I will take a demagnetizer and erase any patterns of emotion, Compassion or desire that transpired Like a tape that holds our song It will be erased and forgotten Your image will be burnt and carried away Like the ashes into the wind You will be a stranger on the street That I do not recognize No connection, no emotion, no hello, no goodbye No gesture, no smile You name will have no meaning And your eyes will have no sparkle Everything that I have known about you Will simply have died Like a grave without a name or date There will be nothing left to remind me that I once loved you
