I Forget

See what you did? You split my emotions, Cut them, and kept them hid. First you killed off my loneliness; Slit the throat of my sadness; Then you tickled my trust Just like your selfish lust. Second time around, you got to my brain And wouldn't leave 'til it drove me insane. Next, you slaughtered my happiness And you tricked me with your restlessness. You seemingly figured me out, read Only the fascinating pages with little to be said. I just figured you knew me better than that, Enough to know despite tries, I won't come back. I hope you know you helped, then broke us all By lifting us, then letting us fall. Always knew I'd remember you, but not like old times. You let me down at the drop of a dime. You shattered the strength I built; Stomped on the mat of guilt, But it doesn't kill me, no , not this. I forget every tie my hand gets a kiss.
