Forget Me Not

I hear you on the telephone

Corrupted cries and question marks are breaking their way through the static on the line

Being so close has sadly led us to becoming so alone

Our everlasting infinite relationship has suddenly run out of time

Oh darling, can't you see that we are drifting apart?

The chains holding us so close will soon break free

On our anniversary we only exchanged broken hearts

Our opaque omega is such a depressing sight to see

We are so young

Yet it feels as if this was my last day in this world so cruel and so cold

All the sweet songs our hearts had ever sung

Will now become tales and stories of regret and shame when they're tragically told

We cared about each other too much at times it seems

You will always hold a special place in my heart I want you to know

Without you by my side, nightmares have replaced my dreams

She loved me so much she let me go



...Cover our silence with screams, so for one last time we can hear our hearts sing their special song

as I put the rusty razorblade to my wrist, give me one last kiss "goodbye" and move along...



I see you on the television

Loquacious lies and explanation points are permanently projected on the silver screen

Our addition and multiplication has ultimately led to our diabolical division

This never-ending nightmare has replaced our derailing dream

Oh baby, don't you notice that we are losing our grip?

The cages that once trapped us will now set us on our separate ways

In our ocean of tears we have just sunk our battleship

My future without you by my side is no more than another day, another shade of gray

We are so gullible

Believing we are walking on Heavens' clouds while parading on broken glass

All the blood has been drained from a cup once so Holy and full

Send our souls toward salvation as we painfully pray and lay among the beautiful blue scorpion grass

We held onto each other with all of our might, perhaps a little too tight

Now I feel so empty and lost as I walk alone among the rubble and debris

Before we parted you kissed me on the cheek, reassuring me that everything will be alright

She loved me so much she set me free



...Cover our wounds with tears, so we can feel the pain as the salt splashes on our skin and souls

As I put the loaded gun to my head, say "I love you" one last time and let the selfish mistakes of the past take their tragic toll...



I hear you on the radio

Subliminal messages and cries for help are vaguely heard through the wicked waves

Waiting and hoping for an encore even though we suddenly stopped the never-ending show

Seems like I've known you forever...wishing it had lasted more than 666 days

Oh sweetie, don't you fear the reaper's wrath?

He holds our hibernating hearts over an open flame and then submerges them in the frigid sea

We both memorized the directions to our dangerous desired destination, yet still got lost on the plagued path

Every contaminated kiss from your poisoned tipped lips was merely another prelude to tragedy

We are so tired

Yet in bloodstained beds our broken bodies become fixed and wide-awake

You threw me a wild pitch but I still struck out swinging and was retired

A past so perfect but a future so blurry and opaque

We took our time for granted, wishing now that we can turn the hands of the commitment clock in reverse

For one more night by your side, my own life I would give

Waving goodbye to Tomorrow as it is driven away in the back of the black hearse

She loved me so much she killed our future just so I can live



...Cover our love in sugar, so at least everything will still appear sweet on the outside even when it all starts to spoil

As I swallow the silver bullet, please send one last prayer for forgiveness and painfully watch the truth cause everlasting turmoil...



I see you on the other side of the fence covered with barbed wire and guards at the gate

You're so close to me but still just out of my arm's reach once again

We've been blaming the entire world for breaking Pangaea apart, but only we can control our own fate

I would climb that fence and slice my skin to a beautiful oblivion just to hold you in my arms once again

Oh sweetie, can't you sense the fear lingering in every breath we take and every sentence we speak?

So afraid of the end when we both know that the end is just the beginning of something new

I can't handle the heartache and the loss, my heart's too weak

I need my alone time and space, but at the same time life's not worth living if I can't live with you

We are so confused

Yet it feels as if everything is starting to make perfect sense

All the time and second chances we carelessly abuse

Will now be maybe memories of the past as I begin to climb this boundary separating us...this suicide fence

We loved each other too much...we could never just be friends

The barbed wire makes a permanent home in my heart and slices my world apart like a switchblade knife

I'll love you forever....today forever came to an end

I loved her so much, just to see her again, I sacrificed my own life



...Cover my casket in roses, so at least I'll smell like our love when my future and dreams begin to rot

As I am lowered six feet underground, shed one last toxic tear for me and forget me not...
