About to Be Forgot

About to Be Forgot

I swear that last night

by candlelight

I assume the same one

that you claim

to burn brightly each

night just for me ..

I faced the future alone

and was blinded

by the shame of your

past and our

tainted, shared history ..

But don’t fret none,

it’s all gone dark again ..

And I am about

to forget you completely ..
