“You”

By: Ana Hernandez

I wish I could put you out of my mind

If only for a minute

I wish that for once I didn’t fall

For the wrong guy

For your type of guy

I wish I didn’t smile every time I think of you

Because its only followed by tears

Everywhere I go

There’s something to remind me of you

It might be insignificant to others

But to me it’s a painful shadow of what had been

I can’t listen to the same music I used to listen to

Because they all remind me of you

I can’t go down a certain path

Because we had way to many intimate moments to count

I can’t live my life like I did before you

Because its been permanently stained with your betrayal

I wish I could erase all memory of you and start fresh

So that when you walk into the room and look in my direction

I don’t the overwhelming feeling to start crying

So that when people say your name m

My head doesn’t instantly turn in that direction

So that I don’t spend the night crying

For reasons that remain unknown to you

So that I forget what it feels like to Love you

Because to tell you the truth

It feels like something is clawing at my chest when I as so much as think of you

Because I can’t stand the fact that you do this to me without even trying…..

…I wish I could put you out of my mind

If only for a minute…
