To Deal With the Pain
To deal with the pain
I?ve retrained my mind
Every time I have a memory of you
Every time I have a dream about you at night
I will visualize a red button that says delete
Just like when you press play and record at the same time
I will erase your memory from my mind
From every kiss to every hug to every I love you
I will take a demagnetizer and erase any patterns of emotion,
Compassion or desire that transpired
Like a tape that holds our song
It will be erased and forgotten
Your image will be burnt and carried away
Like the ashes into the wind
You will be a stranger on the street
That I do not recognize
No connection, no emotion, no hello, no goodbye
No gesture, no smile
You name will have no meaning
And your eyes will have no sparkle
Everything that I have known about you
Will simply have died
Like a grave without a name or date
There will be nothing left to remind me that I once loved you
