forget

i wonder what it'll take for me to finally forget

i've burned every trace of you

cleansed myself a million times

wiped you straight off the face of my earth

yet here you are still haunting me in my sleep

you creep in the corners of my mind

you're in the face of a million others,

maybe that's because you had a face like a million others and the only thing to distinguish you out of everyone else was the depth in those eyes that now are empty capsules of something i'll never remember

you come in bits and pieces

but never enough for me to fit together to try to make you whole in my head again

it's not like i want you

because i don't

i want you gone

tell me how can i forget when i know you won't
