I can't remember to forget you

But I keep forgetting to remember you

Your memory haunts the edge of my being

A shadow in a dark house

But a bright spot of light in a dark cave

You were once close to me, my best friend, my worst enemy

You were like a sister to me, my savoir, and my tormenter

When I was with you I was safe, from everyone but you

When I was with you everything thing was as in should be

When I was with you nothing went wrong

But deep within my mind something was telling me to get out

Deep within me something said "no"

But did I listen to that wise voice?

No, I did not; I kept on the course I was on

My heart fell for you

My mind warned it

"No" it said "you will get hurt"

But did my heart listen?

No, it just turned a flipped off my mind

So here I am, crying over you

But not even remembering you

Why is it that the best things in life are forbidden?

Why is it that the heart never listens to the mind?

Why is it I cannot remember you?

Why is it that I cannot forget you?
