Please.
Let me forget.
If only for
A short time.
Only when
I Close my eyes.
Grant me the respite
Of those few moments -
To escape from
The reality
That is
Me.

You tried.
I gotta give you that.

And I wasn't
Just trying
To give you a hard time.

See, I heard what you had to say.
I listened to your words.

But I also heard
The emptiness
In them.

I heard
The absence of
Pain.

So until your pain,
Matches mine.

Don't bother.
