Tightrope

You've forgotten already

And that's okay

I forgive you

No, I take that back

I don't forgive you

Because there's no reason for forgiveness

You've done nothing wrong

It's okay to forget

In fact, I wish I could be like you

And forget

Everything that happened

All those silly things

Foolish dreams

Time wasted

On something so stupid

Time wasted

Being a complete idiot

I wish I can forget it all

Because then,

At least then,

I'll be able to forgive myself

For deciding to walk on a tightrope

Because it took all the strength I had

To not fall

Because the land wouldn't have been graceful

Love is like that, you know

Twisted hearts

That's all you get in the end

But I didn't fall

Thanks to you, I didn't fall

You gave me a reason to reach

The other side

And now

My feet are on an even surface

And I won't fall

But you are gone

And I can't help wondering if

The tightrope is better

Than this sane and still world

And darling,

This is why I want to forget

The thrill of being with you

Of stepping on a thread

The risk of being with you

Of the nothingness beneath me

Help me forget

Because forgetting will keep me sane

Because forgetting will make it easier

To survive in this world

Without you
