The Fool (6/6/16)

I am a fool to waste so many years,
Dreaming of you and waking with tears.
Day after day and night after night,
Trying to forget, but losing the fight.
Not wanting the memories of things that were said,
The ghost that is you won't get out of my head.
I want it buried and buried so deep,
So you can't visit the me in my sleep.
I want to wake up and never remember,
That night long ago; some time in November.
I don't want to remember the time that we spent,
Talking and laughing; your smile, your scent.
I want it all gone, I want it to go,
The memories of you from so long ago.
But the fool that I am, the fool I'll always be
Can never forget the words that you once said to me.
