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
