Forget

Shut your eyes.
Forget.
Forget how their laugh
Made everything weightless.
Forget.
Forget how their tone
Switched over when they were irritated.
Forget.
Forget how their touch
Would mend your broken heart.
Forget.
Forget how their expression
Became heavy at night.
Forget.
Forget how their tired voice
Was the cutest sound to your ears.
Forget.
Forget their shallow breathing
When they were sleeping beside you.
Forget.
Forget that look they had in their eyes
When you were the first thing they saw when they woke.
Forget.
Forget how their smile
Always looked so damn innocent.
Forget.
Forget how they could forget everything
And haven't a single care in the world.
Forget.
Forget how you envied
The way they looked upon life.
Forget.
Forget about their eyes and how
You imagined spending every day from then on looking into them.
And if weeks
Or months from now
You still have not forgotten.
Repeat to yourself
A thousand times over
"I hate you."
With them in mind.
Even with the fucking words
Clogging your throat
And forcing out tears
"I hate you!"
Say it!
With the salty tears
Streaking and staining your face.
Say it!
"I hate you!"
Now forget.
Just forget.
You hate them.
It's over.
Forget.
