Forgetting
More I try to forget
More I am drawn to you
Struggling to erase your memories
I always end up carving one
Its becoming and endless battle
What I thought to be beginning of en end
Turned out to only to be
the end of a beginning
every time I take a pledge to resist you
you come and take everything away
like the waves come ashore
and sweep away the castle of sands
mesmerized by your twinkling eyes
I have be come blind to everything
So wild and carefree was I
You have chained me to your desires
When you smile I walk on the clouds
You stare coldly, I am off to dungeons of despair
I wonder why God gave you so much power
Surely it was not meant to destroy
May be destruction is the key to creation
But I died before I learned to live
I know you can love me never
But if you have never lied
Tell me the dreaded truth
I will again be free as a bird
As you know, you develop wings
When you become an angel
