Forgotten

Even when the memories fade
The space where you once were remains
Every feeling only aches
Missing you means that I hate
Anything that made me stay
Or wake up for one more day
No one left to share the blame
You may be gone
But not forgotten
Every fight forgotten
Every wrong forgiven
It's better to not have been
Than to have been forgotten
If this was always the end
Scared to know or play pretend
My heart hung in the shadows
No more tears to wet my pillow
When every day is done
Pain won't leave and rest won't come
So much hope deferred now gone
That I wish
I was forgotten
Every fight forgotten
Every wrong forgiven
It's better to not have been
Than to have been forgotten
One more look a fantasy
Your life at peace but clouds won't leave
Cold and darkness cover me
Think of all you were to be
All my fears part of my story
Stalking each new memory
Without you it's incomplete
You may be gone
But not forgotten
Every fight forgotten
Every wrong forgiven
It's better to not have been
My heart cannot forget
Your warmth, your love, your laugh
You'll never be forgotten
