Close Your Eyes and Forget

Close your eyes and forget, little girl
     Forget all about the one who crushed your heart
     Forget the hugs, the kisses, his gentle touch on your cheek
     For she's the one he's kissing now.

Forget how he caressed you and held you tight
     Forget how his eyes softened upon meeting yours
     Forget how he declared you his one and only love
     Because he doesn't love you anymore.

Close your eyes and forget his awkward attempts at equal treatment
     And forget all about his inbred code of chivalry
     Forget how highly this knight once valued you
     For now he wears another lady's favor.

Forget the way his touch could make you feel
     Don't remember sensual nights spent together
     Just bury your face in that pillow as you clutch it tightly
     Remembering it's the same pillow from that cold, empty place on the bed beside you where he used to lay.

Close
     Your eyes
         Little girl
             And forget all about him.

Forget you would have given him all that you had
     But mourn because it wasn't enough when he couldn't accept the woman you     would become
     So forget, forget how you loved him more than life itself
     For he no longer gives a damn about you anymore.

So, please,
     Close your eyes…
     Close your eyes
          And forget…
               Little girl.
