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

Lost love theme presented in a different way. So sad. It is like a computer and a virus and you think all traces are gone but it keeps cropping up. Keep writing. Sara
