I am trying to forget
my memories of you.
They only bring heartache
now that you're gone.
You're tormenting my dreams,
turning them into nightmares.
My fantasies are poisoned
with the image of your face.
Your figure lingers
in the deepest recesses
of my mind,
a shadow dementing me
each time I close my eyes.
No matter what the cost is,
my masochistic mind clings
to every thought of you.
Looking in the mirror,
I see your face
staring back at me.
You won't leave me alone,
a painful reminder of what once was.
It's torture just to breathe,
it's murder just to see.
I cannot escape
from your melancholy specter,
trailing me everywhere I go.
Just wanting to forget,
to make the pain subside,
but constantly reminded
of the way things were.
Can't you let me be?
I just want to leave
this ache behind.
I want to be free of my bitter chains,
no longer wanting to belong to you.
Alas,
no matter where I run,
you are sure to follow.
