i don’t want to be haunted by memories
of starlit nights and peace

I don’t want to remember your skin
i struggled so long to reach
to then be denied again

i don’t want to remember
your footsteps in my house
or our dreams we shared in the dark
or the loving you quickly forgot

my heart isn’t made of rubber
i won’t be strung on a string
or be chained to you by my open heart
we are apart,
let me forget
