over it...get

footsteps of your presence are
shadowed indentions throughout my thoughts
planting pits into my determined intention to forget

forget...

I want you

I want to

make you inconsequential
like a wind without the power to ruffle my clothes
or
a scent so light it escapes the reach of my nose
or
a shimmer so thin I can't see it’s there
or
a molecule so small it can sit on the tip of a split hair

but it ain’t that easy

cuz even though my
reality means remaining in a state
of never evolution
I remember
what almost was

what almost was

and dream of
what could have been

even as
I
smile into the faces of other men
i see
your
smile within the faces of other men

even as
i
style my life without you
I see
your
style within my life without you

cuz I cannot forget

i cannot forget...

help me to forget

disappear from the face of the earth
please
stop teasing me with your nearness
cuz you know you’re
far away
cease this game of friendly contact
cuz you know i
cannot play

you know what i want

I want you

I want to

forget

please

help me

by erasing the stain
of you
from my memory
by eradicating the disease
of you
from my blood
by exorcising the ghost
of you
from my soul

that's the least you can do
to help me to
forget
you
