I've Forgotten

I've forgotten what it was like.
To love with all my heart.
The hopes and dreams,
Just becomes a blur.

Nothing else holds the flame.
I've been beaten, battered.
Broken to bits of pieces.
All the while you watch.

My eyes have been poisoned.
My skin has been torn.
My voice has been cut.
And my heart slowly died.

I've forgotten what it was like.
To feel special in someone's eyes.
The feeling of happiness,
Embedded into my smile.

Yet, nothing else really mattered.
I've been played, unworthy.
Suffocating till my last breath.
All the while you laugh.

My eyes have leaked blood.
My skin has turned pale white.
My voice is no longer useful.
And my heart slowly turned to ash.

I've forgotten what it was like.
To be happy in your arms.
The hope for forever after.
Written into our future.

That isn't how it works.
Life, takes turns and flips.
Shapes us into who we need to become.
Along with pain and darkness.

I close my eyes to your voice.
I touch my cheek to your chest.
I roll your name off my tongue.
And my heart beats when I see you.

I've forgotten what it was like.
To want you in my life.
That want is larger than the need.
Hoping that someday my heart will forget.

How you made me feel,
And release me from my prison.
