Forgetting you (looking for critiques!)

Post by Silence Nightingale » Thu Jan 15, 2009 3:43 pm

I wish that my mind could find something else to think about...
I'm sick of always thinking of you
Always wondering what you're doing...how you're feeling...
And I'm sick of wondering if you miss me...
I already know you don't

You glare and scuzz me off at every chance you get.
And when you do I can't believe how much it hurts
How my heart just wants to stop beating and fall from chest

....

Four months I was with you...
Four months you were my everything
"The sound track of my summer"
The happiness of my days at school
And now you're gone
And I can't find the erase button in my mind.
I can't find the switch that will make me forget you...
Forget all the times you said "I love you"
Forget all the hugs, and the kisses, the caresses and the tender words
I can't find the switch to erase my pain

....

But

....

The worst part of it all is that I DON'T want to forget you..
But I want the pain to stop...
I know you're better off without me
But I want so bad to be your everything again.

....

I wish my mind could find something else to think about...
I'm tired of feeling sick everytime I see your face
Hear your voice
Or smell that damn cologne in the halls...

....

I'm so ready to move on...but so afraid

....
I wanna just run away
I just wanna hide
I just wanna erase the past
And just curl up inside
I don't wanna see the world go round
I wanna go back to bed
Sleep till the pain dissappears
I wanna be with you again

The souring of romance... the topic of many a good book and poem. Funny how there are no answers after so many millenia of human existence.

Hi....I don't have time to ponder this but saw a couple of lines I might be able to suggest something......the line 'I already know you don't' seems that it should be worded differently to express a vague hint that in the back of your mind you are not 'totally' sure whether they miss you or not.....stating the same thing just worded differently...

Also in the last line, but so afraid could be worded differently like just an example.....but fear is in charge....or something like that

well i'm going to lunch definately want a buffet but can't decide on chinese, phillipino, or Sicily's Pizza buffet......
