To Just Forget

Thoughts as heavy as a stone

Bend my heart and make it groan;

Cause my past echoes to moan

‘Till I ache in every bone:

Ache to just forget.

Sadness deeper than the Sea

Has manifested in me.

Tides all laced with the salty

Tears I cry to just be free:

Cry to just forget.

Darkness shadows every thought

Showing how my will is not

Selfless as I know it ought

To be. I wish I were naught:

Wish to just forget.

Just forget: this my desire

Will not free my heart to tire;

Lends my soul its final fire:

Lay me down upon the pyre

That I may forget.
