Don'T Forget Me

Days go by slower 

as life gets me lower. 

I've lost all track of time. 

thinking it'd last was my only crime. 

what made me believe I could smile forever? 

what brought me to think we'd be together? 

when your ready to leave, go ahead, 

I hope by then, I'll be dead. 

but when your time comes to leave me behind, 

just keep my memory in the back of your mind. 

I'll still stare into space, thinking of what could've been, 

even though thinking of you would be a sin. 

don't look back to me, because you deserve much better. 

just keep with you, my final letter. 

and when I die, you'll be my last thought, 

all of the pain that, to you, I brought.
