Forget me poem

Lyrics

FORGET ME I was standing right in front of you Fire in my chest, truth on my tongue never bent for anyone never dimmed the light I brung You watched me shine and called it loud Called my strength something to tame I wore my scars like armor You wore judgment like my name You didn’t love me when I was breathing So don’t miss me when im gone Don't try to rewrite me into something sweet When you are with the truth, alone. Forget my name, forget my face Forget the way I lit up space Forget my passion, forget my rage Forget the hills I’d die upon I stood for something bigger than you That’s why you tried to cut me down Don’t search for me in someone new My kind of soul won’t fit in you Don’t try to find my courage In someone smaller, safer, tamed Don’t steal the pieces of me You couldn’t hold without blame I may be gone, but I linger A shadow in your quiet nights You didn’t earn the memory But my absence owns your mind Forget my voice, forget my light Forget the way I’d never hide You’ll never find me again Not in them Not in time Not even in me Forget me Forget the way the room would change Forget a once-in-a-lifetime flame I was too real, too wild, too free For someone who couldn’t see You can live a lifetime searching And never touch someone like me.
