Forget Me
Forget me when I'm gone,
I did nothing great.
In times of trouble
I laughed
At all the skins we shed.
Forget me when I'm gone,
For I never really cared.
I gave just enough
To hope
And not enough to matter.
Forget me when I'm gone,
I took the shortest path.
I blamed all but me
And danced
When everyone else was weeping.
Forget me when I'm gone,
And never think I cried,
Neither for good nor ill,
But for a loneliness I can't escape.
