forgetting to love














I’m burying you beneath
the day-to-day

you are fading
no longer invading
my ever waking
eye

no longer willing
to go on killing
my heart
over love

if I deaden that eye
I can again fly
and forgive you
for forgetting me
or never even
noticing
or understanding

my grief I’m laying
down by the curb
letting the trash man
take it to the landfill
and bury it

cause I’ve had my fill
of meaning nothing
to anyone and everyone
who makes my heart really beat

I’m old
and incomplete
and will remain
just as I am
until I finally
fall asleep
forever

so what.
