Forget the Ones You Shouldn’t Remember
there’s a sad difference
between the words
forget
and
forgot.
for one,
i tell myself to forget.
to forget your eyes
the gleaming shimmers
in the depths of the
myriad chocolate desires.
you tell me to remember
to never forget
the good times we had
staring into the abyss and the setting sun
the colors of the sky blending into the shining sea
giving us the beautiful sense of hope
that everything would work out.
but i wish i’d just forget,
because if i don’t,
i’ll never move to forgot.
and i need to forget
forgot is so tempting
to forget the gold chains around your neck
the silky black hair i’d hold
whilst we kissed under the stars
to forget the smile you gave me
after sobbing over your sorrows
i need to forget the times
you’d call me bad things,
yell at me;
you caused the doubts
that run silently through my veins
like poison.
i.
need.
to forget.
if not, how will i ‘forgot’?
how will you be forgotten?
when will this end?
