Forgive and Forget
9/22/09
This feeling is not sadness,
This feeling is not joy,
I can’t really tell,
What the hell it is.
You ask me for an answer,
That I cannot give,
Yet you continue to pursue,
Hoping for a breakthrough.
I can’t tell you,
What you want to hear,
I can’t tell you,
The truth.
It’s so scary, I hardly understand.
This life of mine,
Doesn’t seem in my control.
Yet I have to live with it.
A life spent believing something,
Something false,
Yet I try to make it true.
My own little secret.
I shall not keep it forever.
I shall not tell it soon.
I shall not let you know,
Else I look like a fool.
A fool with such,
Childish thoughts,
Cannot, should not,
Be allowed to live.
These thoughts of adventure,
These thoughts of greatness.
How can I blind myself so,
Yet see so clearly.
See that it all,
It all just ends.
We can’t change it,
It’s gonna happen.
So why can’t I live and let live,
Why can’t I live and let die.
Why oh why, can’t I forgive and forget.
Why am I not afraid to die?
