WHY?
Why did you leave without
teaching me how to forget you?
Why were you as selfish as not to
tell me the secret of erasing you?
I tried and tried to erase you,
but you left and left and just left.
Erasing you from my mind is no easy thing,
it’s much easier to remove a stain or a virus!
How dared you leave? What about
my tears, my longing, my need of you?
Are you happier now? or more accomplished?
Can you smile when I cry? can you do this? can you?
teaching me how to forget you?
tell me the secret of erasing you?
I like these lines. They’re plaintive, accusing, heartbroken, and striving to heal. Nice sketch of being in that awful place.
