I Cannot Forget
I CANNOT FORGET
Forgetting is hard to do
When my mind constantly searches
Its recesses for images of you
I want to forget
But never will
I need to forget
But won’t willingly
I must forget
But that is unlikely
My sanity ever so fragile
Hinges on you being a fading memory
A path once travelled
But now too arduous to bear
Swamping my psyche
And filling me with despair
My wounds are deep and sore
And will never heal
What we had failed
It was not meant to be
We both must release ourselves
From this gnawing misery
