Forget I Said That

Oh to forget. 
To loose the stone where it is set.
To step into whiteness,
fill the space with lightness.

I would let it trickle from my fingertips.
Scribble the memory of how i shaped my lips.
To this secret paper i Impart, how i used my words
to crush your heart

How one can get carried away in arguments 
of right and wrong,
till ones wronged the right one in her justice song.

Oh to forget your means true end; it is done by
everyone on that depend.

I will write to you.
please forgive me all.
Let bitterness from your memory fall.

oh to forget
              to forget 
                            to forget
Let every person i hurt forget.

Then give me a potion of tales tall,
so that from my memory 
it may also fall.
