Forget Me
I am always the fool, no more
a good man, a wise man,
than you are.
I have mourned
love never mine
burned down friendships
that were.
My heart, foolish-suspicious.
My mind, critical-over analytical.
I don't regret the things
said that night in
that darkly lit bar.
Meant every word.
Regret the next and last time
I saw you.
Life is one mistake
after another until something
is right. That seems to be symptomatic
of these relations.

Forget Me
I am always the fool,
never knowing when enough is enough.
I would rather drive away
those attempting to be close to me
than risk the disappointment
that seems to be symptomatic
of these relations.
I am no more
a good man,
a wise man,
than you are.
I have mourned love
that was never mine
and burned down friendships
that were.
My heart is foolish
and suspicious.
My mind is critical
and over analytical.
I don't regret the things
I said that night in
that darkly lit bar.
I meant every word.
I regret the next time,
the last time
I saw you.
You are better off without me.
Life is one mistake after another
until something is right.
