Why Can't I Forget?
The nights whispers a constant reminder of what was lost
Each rustling leaf seems to mock a choice made
Why can't I forget?
Each smile making me remember a happier time
A time that included him
Memories were supposed to bring happy moments to mind
Yet they turn treacherous every night as I lay in bed
Replaying each loving kiss and gentle caress
I had thought my choice was right and well made
Not expecting the regret that besieges with a stream of endless tears
Everyone says to smile and let life go on
How can life go on with a heart that no longer cares to beat in rhythm?
If time heals all wounds how much longer must I wait?
Perhaps some broken hearts are never meant to mend
Forever trapped in a circle of regret and pain
Once I took solace in the moons silvered glow
Comforted with its constant presence
Now it's nothing more then a reminder of a love that was ended to soon
Careless words and actions breaking a promise of forever
Even the suns constant bright warming touch leaves me cold
Making me long for the warmth of his arms around me
Each night as I lay down I swear it will be the last time I think of him as sleep takes me
Every morning proves my resolve to weak
Why can't I forget him?
Why does every laugh leave me wanting to scream in frustration?
Will I ever forget the gentle care he showed with each action and deed?
The Fates are cruel and uncaring to a broken heart
Promising relief that will never come until I can forget
But can I ever forget a love that should have never been broken?
