Forget About It

Though there are days when I miss you,
These are the days I try to forget too....

Forget all these lonely nights,
Change out each picture frame's sight,

Delete photos from our slide show,
Untag and delete those facebook photos,

Overlook the places you kept your stuff,
Fill the bottom drawer of my fridge just enough,

Ignore that spot on the pillow where you use to lay,
Change the journal entry for that Cabernet,

Put aside all those cards you wrote,
Let pass the birthday you didn't acknowledge,

Turn away from those new photos and don't scone,
Lose sight of your friends who are no longer my own,

Shrugg off that you said, "It didn't really bother you,"
Think nothing of the previous week's, "I love you too."

Write off all those long emails, poetry, and songs,
Drop the subject now, just try and get along,

Charge to the experience the last three years I can't undo,
Draw a blank when someone tries first to be 'someone new',

Lose sight of our dreams, and focus on mine,
Shrug off any thoughts of trying to help you redesign (your life),

Leave behind those memories I'll feel when I look at pier,
Overlook the temptation to slurge on those foreign beers,

Turn away from the batman merchandise,
Don't think about and take some of my friend's advice,

Lose most of these memories,
You walked away from.

Abandon the premise you might ever,
Have the chance to take them again,

Blow up, get mad, get brave, let go,
I'm brushing you off and burying the hatchet.

I'm sorry you lost me,
I'm even sorrier,
    that you don't have a chance in H*ll,
        at getting me back.
You f*cked up,
    And I'll be hard to find again.
