forget_sometimes
jennifer forget
echoing inside me like a commandment
it’s too late now what’s done is done the past
is over no time to reflect no time to be
haunted he’s gone now he’s gone now dead
don’t look back, never look back at the slowest
drug suicide death and don’t ask why or how you
don’t want to know maybe it was mom’s fault
she killed him or i did

no

look straight ahead in my dream i was crying
tugging at him pulling prying i was just a little
kid and he was a big man walking away walking
out with cold eyes and the smell of beer on his
lip and i was crying and i was just a little kid but
only a dream only a dream i woke up crying not a
child but not old enough to understand

so

i forget i don’t look back never i do not i only just
scribble at night sometimes to scare off a little ghost
just gentle disappearance, slipping away and
vanishing year by year i will

forget

emily i forget sometimes to miss you,
i forget sometimes to think,
i forget sometimes how miserable i am,
i forget sometimes how to be happy...

confabulation i forget sometimes how much some people care about me.

i forget sometimes how much his words can hurt me.
