Forgetting you

Your bittersweet kisses

Make me forget

The worse is gone

When I am with you, I'm at my highest

When you’re gone I feel my lowest

Loving you will kill me yet,

I can’t stop

I know having you stay is a hidden sin

But I think of you every day

Your smile entices me

Your eyes invite me

Your laugh excites me

Your cries break me

Hurting you was not planned, but loving you was

I wish I could take it back

Feel your touch

But you are my past

And someone else’s future

You are not mine

And I need to forget you

© Jessica F., Bradford, MA

“If they don't give you a seat at the table, bring a folding chair.” <br /> - Shirley Chisholm - <br /> This quote brings depth to the fact that not everything will turn out how you expect it, and sometimes when that happens, lying down isn't your only option, make yourself an opportunity instead of waiting for somebody to hand it to you, I think that really speaks to how I aspire to be ♥ ♥ ♥
