Forget

Forget
           
                  Eyes stinging,
                  rushing up the stairs

                  Throwing myself onto the bed,
                  Picking up the one thing that's safe.
              
                  Listening to troubles, not my own,
                  the fantasies that do not belong to me.

                                      And I am able to forget.
