Love Poem: Help Me Forget

Help Me Forget

The days keep passing by 
yet nothing seems to change
This endless tale of loneliness
gets lost up in the sky

Then that sky gets darker
the rain begins to fall
and suddenly it's clear to me
I should have seen before

every time you hurt me
the pain just makes me stronger
when you say you love me
I pretend that I don't care

I have my life to live
a story I must write
I have my past my present 
and a future yet to live

each morning that I wake
the pain subsides a bit
each new memory I make
they all help me forget for 
awhile
