Post 632: Exorcising You (2/11/10)

Exorcising You (9/15/09 c, 2/11/10 w)

I thrown your letters in my fireplace

In my mind there are memories I’m trying to replace

I’m convincing myself that everything about you

Everything about you was untrue

Exorcising you

Trying to forget what I thought was magic

Burning every picture of you

Because I don’t want to see your face

Or remember anything about you

It’s harder than I thought forgetting you

Trying to believe my lies

To save my mind

I have to exorcise you

The words that you said

I want to replace

But it’s harder to do than to forget your face

I never thought I would have to forget you

But if I remember, it will be too hard to go on

So I have to, I have to be

Exorcising you

Trying to forget what I thought was magic

Burning every picture of you

Because I don’t want to see your face

Or remember anything about you

It’s harder than I thought forgetting you

Trying to believe my lies

To save my mind

I have to exorcise you

Trying not to cry

Those are not tears running from my eyes

They are the memories of you melting from my mind

After I am through, I’m sure that I won’t remember

I won’t remember you

Exorcising you

Trying to forget what I thought was magic

Burning every picture of you

Because I don’t want to see your face

Or remember anything about you

It’s harder than I thought forgetting you

Trying to believe my lies

To save my mind

I have to exorcise you
