Darkest Nights

Forget

Take me back to that night
two hearts beat as one.
Let me lose myself once more
in the sweet caresses of your touch.
Let me wake draped atop you,
With you arms wrapped around me.

Had I known then what I know now
I swear I never would have waked.
I would have died before the sun rose
that I may have never known a day
without you next to me.

Or for how could I forget?
Those sweet sweet words,
like honey to my empty soul.
Or those eyes? Who sought to see
the light in my eyes amidst the darkness.
Or those hands? Who swore
time and time again never to let me go.

How could I forget?
what it was like to have been whole.
To have known without a doubt
that it was you who completed me so.

How could I forget ?
the world we had created.
Our world. You and I. Us.

Am I just supposed to carry on
as though you hadn't changed my life?
am I supposed to live my life
in nothing but black and white,
when I had seen it come to life
in swirls of colors?

How am I to brave the world
with all my wounds left reopened?
How am I to stop the bleeding,
the aching, the longing?

Tell me how am I supposed to forget you?
