Erasing Memories

I thought my mind could bury you deep And my heart would never know But like a cancer you’re still there Embedded, continuing to grow I will forget the times we shared The passion that was you Block out the way you held me close And the fire that would imbue I will erase the memories Remove what traces left Eradicate all remaining thoughts And put my love to rest If I practice hard enough I can pretend it wasn’t real A dream that lasted way too long A dream that I still feel
