Erase My Memories [Acrostic]

by xoxShorteexox   Feb 18, 2010


Erase my memories of your slightly perfect face with that fake skin tone,
Rid my mind of all these nightmares of our nights between the sheets,
Another mistake I shouldn't have made, but guilt is my only friend,
Since that last kiss, I've been haunted by your memory inside my head,
Even when I'm awake I feel like I'm walking around half dead.

My life is filled with self-inflicted wounds and bullets that didn't fit right,
Your lies were my safest home, but now it's time to erase those flaws.

My heart is racing from the last heroin encrypted line you used to pull me in,
Even though, I was supposed to never be breakable, darling, you found a way,
My life is lying in shambles and you're walking over all the pieces of my heart,
Oh, but you'd have to have a heart to actually care about such a thing,
Right now, as you're watching me fall, do you ever wonder if you're breakable too?
In the time we've shared together; I've grown more heartless than ever,
Enough is enough; ignorance is bliss, darling, so erase my memories; my sorrows,
Soon, I'll forget you were ever in my life when I find a way to erase my memories.

    Acrostics are hard to do without sounding forced to find words to fit the form but you have made it seem easy. (smiles) If only we could erase memories from our minds. That would make life and things much easier to deal with. Well done.
