Forget About Me

When you want someone to hold,
A girl who’ll fall instead of fold,
Forget about me.
If you’re looking for a kiss,
Or you just don’t have someone to miss,
Look away.
When you wake up lonely,
Just you and you only,
Put down the phone.

Forget about me,
We were never meant to be.
Even if you find yourself alone tonight,
The two of us will never be right,
Forget about me.

When my phone rings I don’t want to see your name,
I don’t want to talk of blame,
I’ll forget about you.
I’d rather have the letters in my mail be bills,
Than have it be you trying to seek out thrills,
Leave me be.
All these messages will be deleted,
We were a mistake, no use repeating,
Please don’t call.

Forget about me,
We were never meant to be.
Even if you find yourself alone tonight,
The two of us will never be right,
Forget about me.

We could say hello again,
Pretend we’re the best of friends,
Act like you never made me cry.
I’ll admit, sometimes I wanna live that lie,
But no matter what you mean to me,
Or what our love could be,
Eventually, you’ll forget about me.

I have felt this exact same way at times. I feel like this would be so easy to turn into a cliche, but you managed to stay well away from that path. Awesome writing!

Really sad poem. Your message comes out very clearly.
