Until My Heart Forgets
I lie awake, engulfed in your memories
Drunk in bliss that only my fancy creates
It's vivid in my mind how your presence made me grin,
How your hackneyed jokes still rolled me laughing.
How we waited for the full moon,
And gazed at the stars begging for them to fall.
Even listened to the thunder roaring, found the lightning amazing.
How we kissed as we danced in the rain
But here in my reality
Thoughts of you bring me joy,
Yet pound my brooding heart to bleed.
There's no more joke for me to laugh
No more stars to fall
No moon that waxes, only wanes
And thunder sounds like my loudest cry
As I am being deluged in my own rain of tears
My mind thinks I am brave, but my heart believes otherwise
The pain is pierced, like the sharpest spear
Deep into my heart, down into my soul,
But I have to heal
Heal myself from my desolation
I will get through,
I'll get over you
And when I do
My mind may still vividly remember,
But my heart will surely forget.
