I want to forget

The way you’d looked at me
with your beautiful eyes.

The feeling that you’d always be there,
that you’d always make me safe.

The taste of the red wine on my tongue.
But I’d like to remember that warmth I felt.

The walls I let down, the lines I crossed,
the feelings that I’d invested in.

How I knew everything was slipping away,
and I could feel you disappearing.

All the broken hearts and empty promises,
all the empty hearts and broken promises.

The things you’d told me.
Because now they seem like lies.

You.
I want

to forget
you.
