Forget

Memories I don't want to remember

But they haunt me, over and over

I said 'goodbye', but you stay

I said 'i don't care', but I do

Why can't I forget?

I told myself I need to meet the deadline

I let it all stay and wait

Time rushed by and now I stand here

Only a few ticking seconds

Anxiety clawing its way around in my heart

I don't remember that traumatic scene

But I live the scar, I carry it

I don't remember the day, but the nightmares

I said I'd meet you, I never did

It's too late now, but I forgot

It's not that it wasn't important

It's just that I forgot, got busy

My attention was distracted, believe me

I regret that all I do is forget

Especially that which I don't want to

All the ugly stays and haunts me

All the pain, the screams, the scars

The darkness, loneliness, uncertainty

I remember that which broke me

I want to forget and start over

No, I don't...

I just want to learn and move on

Wipe it out and use the pillars

To build a new home

Where joy and love reigns

I want to remember the beauty

I want to extinguish the pain

I want to see the good

I want to wipe out the evil

Sometimes, I want to forget
