How Do You Forget?

How do you forget

About someone you love

The one you give your heart to

And the one who let you fall

 

How do you forget

All the pain she caused

When she walked away

And broke your fragile heart?

 

How do you forget

The love you still feel

Even though you know

The past is long since dead?

 

How do you forget

The emptiness inside

When every single thought

Takes you back to her?

 

How do you forget

Every tear you’ve cried

When you lay awake at night

Feeling all alone?

 

How do you forget

That she’s already moved on

And left you standing there

Alone and feeling cold?

 

How do you forget

The day she said goodbye

When your world fell apart

And you dreams were shattered?

 

How do you forget

How you thought she was the one

And how you were too blinded to see

That you were just one too many?

 

How do you forget

About someone you love

When you finally realize

That you’re still in love with them?

 

How can you forget?

[Undying Glory]

deep is right. this poem reaches deep into your heart. really good and very thought-provoking.

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

Deep. This would make a wonderful song. It stirs up feelings. I find it slightly disturbing.
There is discomfort because I felt things I thought i had forgotten about. A humbling experience.
You did a great job here! Kudos.
