My Love

Oh, it hurts so baby,
      it hurts so!
  To know…
and yet to feign ignorance.

To let a lone tear caress my cheek
  and to give a fake smile.
To try to forget it all
  and act like nothing happened.
  But the truth won’t leave.
    It grasps me everytime
Looking right into my eyes
as it stands there untrodden,
  no matter how hard I try
      to make it vanish.
      I plead with it to
        let me BE!
But it’s there, right there,
  adamant and stubborn
To keep me out of my dreams
      Lest I forget…
    And the memories
        surface again.
  Those ugly memories
    I strive to hide.
They show their frightening fangs
and I don’t have a choice
  but to surrender
      to the
              truth...
