Forgotten

New life

Has Sprung out of you,

The past left behind;

The place you were

Forgotten...forgiven almost

 

But I, I wanted you to die,

To be left as nothing

Or to burn until you crumbled to empty remains;

You, the place that taught me,

You the place that crumbled me

To nothing.

 

You are

Now surrounded with flower beds,

Your dark walls brightened;

The place you were

Warmed...homely almost

 

But I, I wanted you left cold,

To be left heartless

Or to be bulldozed until you fell to pieces;

You, the place that ignored me,

You the place that tore me

To pieces.

 

Life will

Move into you now,

Sweep away the flaws in your past;

Under a new rug,

Forgotten...Forgiven almost.
