Make Me Forget

Folder: 
Love Blossoms

He drove me to your arms;
his abusive words made
your kindness so appealing.

 

Hold me gently as tears flow
in efforts to release
myself from his grip.

 

I hope you are able to
erase him from my mind
with the touch of your hand.

 

I want you to claw him

out of my skin

like a scabbed wound.

 

Kiss me so passionately
that his lips are
but a distant memory.

 

Maybe your love can
make me forget that
I was hurt so deeply.
