Pain Worth Forgetting

If I lent a hand would you do the same

If I gave you my mind would you keep me sane

I told you I loved you, but you ran away

You promised you'd never hurt me

But did anyway

You gave up on me

Left me alone to rot

You promised you'd love me forever

Perhaps you just forgot

How much you meant to me

Now with nobody left

All I see is the spite you left 

A locked door without a key

As I dangle high above your empty bedside

Your photo is the last thing that I see

The smile you left on that photograph

Gave me my empathy 

Now as I feel the blood rush through

Awaiting the rope help erase the memories of you
