Smiles far from mind
Laughter exits the stage
Traveling on this one way road
I am learning to forget your name
I’ve said all the words
The answer occupies no space
Empty heart in hand
Time will move on
There is no delete button
To remove the thought
The sweet kiss I’ve since recognized
The bitterness that will always be
Love for you a simple choice
Easy enough to set free
Walk away
Pretend it’s not real
As I paint the canvas white
Strip away mischance adoration
Far from thought; far from heart
The lies that make my world ok
