To forget

I see the way that you sleep
Watching you is so comforting
Knowing that you can rest so comfortably without me
Nights spent losing sleep

(You said it all)

I will take back what you wanted
I will rip my heart out of my chest
Burn it down, so you'll remember
I was always your favorite

I used to long for just a sip
But now it's much too bitter for my lips
So won't you close the grip around my throat
As long as you hold me close
Hold me close and quell the last of my delusional hope
So when you come to me in my dead of sleep
Why won't you take what you need?

I gouge my eyes repeatedly
In hopes your face would fade discreetly
Even if you are laying next to me
I can't sleep
You're only alive in my dreams

I will take back what you wanted
I will rip my heart out of my chest
Burn it down, so you'll remember
I was always your favorite

I was always your favorite

But now I'm gone
Yet, you still get along
And I'll trudge on
In this life that I don't belong
