A Memory To Forget

You are a memory
I long to escape
But your grip is so tight
Around my wrist, and you see
I have blown out so many candles
And fallen eyelashes
Wishing to forget you
To send your memory
Into oblivion
Like nothing ever happened
Give my old self back to me
Give me a clean slate
So, I can disremember you
And rediscover me
Finally feel real feelings
Finally feel what it's like
To be
Free
We both deserve to forget
That night
I have finally forgiven you
And we both deserve
To feel
Alright
