i wonder what it'll take for me to finally forget
i've burned every trace of you
cleansed myself a million times
wiped you straight off the face of my earth

yet here you are still haunting me in my sleep
you creep in the corners of my mind
you're in the face of a million others,
maybe that's because you had a face like a million others and the only thing to distinguish you out of everyone else was the depth in those eyes that now are empty capsules of something i'll never remember

you come in bits and pieces
but never enough for me to fit together to try to make you whole in my head again

it's not like i want you
because i don't
i want you gone
tell me how can i forget when i know you won't
