You Can Forget

Each swallow paid
it looked so surreal
lying on a floor
just trying to feel

she tries to remember
asleep on the bed
i still leave a trace
that thing in her head

i thought she could know
i knew she could see
i stood there waiting
but she didnt see me

that place still exists
its there in her dreams
she can see that
the horror it seems

and i never want
to know whats there
she relives a nightmare
but wont shed a tear

she told me so
it somehow feels right
to cry for my shadowed
face in the night

shes never lets me
bring her so down
if a drink can erase me
ill more than frown

and ill sit and care
think back and not cry
empty bottles and hearts
but not wondering why

if she doesnt know me
then love never paid
there wasnt really much
of a strong heart to fade
