Forget

Forget the angels
Passing you by,
With every step you take.
Forget the memories
You hide in lies,
That you long to forsake.

Forget the flowers
Coming forth to bloom,
Only looked upon by your eyes.
Forget the dew-drops
On your silken touch,
Whose soft caress they epitomise.

Forget the smiles
That rain on you,
When I would linger near.
Forget them all,
But when you cry,
Let me shed your only tear.

By,
