To Forget

I see the way that you sleep

Watching you is so comforting

Knowing that you can rest so comfortably without me

Nights spent losing sleep

(You said it all)

I will take back what you wanted

I will rip my heart out of my chest

Burn it down, so you'll remember

I was always your favorite

I used to long for just a sip

But now it's much too bitter for my lips

So won't you close the grip around my throat

As long as you hold me close

Hold me close and quell the last of my delusional hope

So when you come to me in my dead of sleep

Why won't you take what you need?

I gouge my eyes repeatedly

In hopes your face would fade discreetly

Even if you are laying next to me

I can't sleep

You're only alive in my dreams

I will take back what you wanted

I will rip my heart out of my chest

Burn it down, so you'll remember

I was always your favorite

I was always your favorite

But now I'm gone

Yet, you still get along

And I'll trudge on

In this life that I don't belong
