Forget you

Remember those words I wrote?

They burned from my fingers onto the keyboard

When I sent them, 

The "enter" key like a burning-hot grill. 

I didn't sleep at all that night, 

Only to find you'd read my words, and not replied. 

Said they made you uncomfortable. 

And now, it's been a while, hasn't it?

You think if you won't bring it up, it never happened.

You're too cold for the burning words I painstakingly typed

That scalding hot confession

I remember it all too well, 

So forget you.
