Nonexistent

I'm only a figment
Of your imagination
An image in your head
Just a hallucination

I'm an element of the past
That's where I'll always remain
A fading memory
Of your sorrow and pain

Let me fade to nothing
Leave me behind
Allow yourself to forget
Erase me from your mind

As long as you remember
And keep thinking of me
You'll continue to feel
Grief and misery

I don't wish this to be
Your future or fate
My transgressions have caused
Shame and self-hate

To ensure your happiness
I'm willing to disappear
I won't be a sight to your eye
Or a sound to you ear

If I must I will vanish
Without the slightest trace
I'd rather not be known at all
Than to be known as I disgrace

I want your emotional scars
To one day completely heal
So your heart can know
A love genuine and real

And although my love is real
I've done more harm than good
I didn't give you the treatment
That a true lover should

As sad as it seems to be
My advice should be taken
All thoughts and visions of me
Should be forsaken

Until the end of days
I will remain distant
And to you, I will become
Forever nonexistent

And if one day, for some reason
I become something you miss
Reject the thought of me
And tell yourself this

He's only a figment
Of my imagination
An image in my head
Just a hallucination

He's an element of the past
That's where he'll always remain
A fading memory
Of my sorrow and pain
