NEVER HAPPEN

JUST FORGET ME

AS IF I NEVER HAPPEN.

DID YOU ERASE ME

LIKE CHALK AND BLEW ME OFF,

NEVER TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PAIN YOU LEFT BEHIND,

OR IS IT IN YOUR MIND, RUNNING ON LIKE TIME.

JUST FORGET ME

AS IF I NEVER HAPPEN.

AND MAYBE YOU CAN LIVE ON,

BLOCKING OUT THE FRAUD.

THE PRETENSE OF WHAT WENT WRONG

WAS THE SENSE TO GO ON

AND IF WE NEVER MEET AGAIN,

I BELIEVE YOU WOULD DO IT AGAIN, TO LEAVE BEHIND A SADNESS,

TO FIND NOTHING WRONG,

OF WHAT BECAME OF THE MADNESS.

JUST FORGET ME

AS IF I NEVER HAPPEN.

FOR I CAN NOT,

THE DEATH OF IT ALL LEFT ME WITH NO WILL,

TO FORGET

AND YET I WILL GO ON.

AND IF YOU UNDERSTAND, THE HURT I HAVE ENDORE,

JUST REMEMBER WHEN,

FOR WE ARE AT

THE END.

SO IF YOU NEED TO KNOW,

I DO MEAN IT SO,

JUST FORGET ME

AS IF I NEVER HAPPEN…
