I want to forget you <br />I feel completely defeated <br />I want to forget you <br />Like you never existed <br />Yet you still haunt me out of the blue <br /> <br />I am trapped in a loop <br />Addicted to you the cook-a-hoop <br />Sweet and sour you are by the hour <br />Forgetting you seems beyond my power <br />Unexpectedly you still torment me for true <br /> <br />Those times we had that were passionate <br />When time itself seemed completely endless <br />Kisses between us brewed amongst many a love debate <br />While our body to body embraces bore life to gladness <br /> <br />But I want to forget you <br />Start my life anew <br /> <br />But I want to forget you <br />And find a love that is true <br /> <br />But I want to forget you <br />For that moment is now due <br /> <br />I want to forget the smiles and tears <br />And all the blissful months and years <br />When we built lovely castles in the air <br />Constantly bathing in a loving atmosphere <br /> <br />I want to abandon you in my house of thoughts <br />I want to dissolve you in my liquidated vein <br />No pain- no gain is insane <br />A sentimental nonsense of the brain <br /> <br />I want to forget you! <br />I want to forget you! <br />Like the night forgets the sun <br />Erase away our memories of fun <br /> <br />If only you knew <br />The pain I felt once we were through <br />In you my heart once rejoiced <br />Now forgetting you is not a choice <br /> <br /> <br />(2007)<br /><br />Sylvia Chidi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-want-to-forget-you/
