Forget About Me

A face

A name

A person

I'd rather move forward

From the past

The stories about the others

I am now one of them

Words

Looks

Emotions

Turned off

With a flick of a switch

What once was

Can't be recaptured

But it's also not wanted

Not a part of the circle

The seat at the back in the corner

I'll take

Things said once upon a time

Have been retracted and forgotten

Retreat to the shadows

Hide in the dark

It's easier

Safer

Regret has happened

Wanting perhaps some timeback

But it is what it is

Learn

Grow

Be content

With just being with me

Sign off

Turn the lights off

Close up shop

Let the dust collect

On the relics of what was

Teasing

Lightheartedness

Teaching

Pushing

Done and over

I'll watch from afar

It's best if I do

Patch the cracks

Superglue used

Block the light

Put them back up

I know where I'll be

It won't be here
