Just forget me… just forget me… and bear my absence O’ mother of tragedy
Just forget me… just forget me… because I know hurt you will every memory
* * *
It has all passed… and in your past… you walked away from me lying by the river
And in your head… voices taunted… saying he does not recall you, nor does he care
How much it have must hurt you to walk away
When you were so used to me crying out “stay”
Don’t think of me… don’t recall me… for I won’t be there to ease your calamity
Just forget me… just forget me… because I know hurt you will every memory
* * *
I know your gaze… into my eyes… wanted to soothe every pain and all my worries
I know it hurts… but you should know… that it was only your sight that brought to me ease
And now I sleep with an arrow in my eye
And no hands that will come and all your tears dry
Don’t expect me… don’t await me… I have left all that I’ve loved for the Lord’s decree
Just forget me… just forget me… because I know hurt you will every memory
* * *
Upon my chest… you left your tears… a place for your tears on my shirt I had promised
But this promise… I’ve broken it… and left in a moonless night all that I once missed
And if you want your two eyes dried when you’re alone
Forget of my hands and dry them with your own
Do not hate me… just forgive me… because I won’t forgive myself for your worry
Just forget me… just forget me… because I know hurt you will every memory
* * *
I’m a mountain… you’re a fountain… when you were hurt this mountain would crumble and fall
And if a wound… upon me loomed… your fountain would topple and your water would fall
So forgive me if when you’re struck I turn away
And forgive my severed hands for making you cry
Do not let me… hear you need me… for I can’t come running and it’d destroy me
Just forget me… just forget me… because I know hurt you will every memory
