Representation of a Past Imperative

lyrics

Forgive me if I found a way to break a part of you,
You were so strong; I swear it true, before me
What have I done and where are you going
There will be no need to tell me, so save your lips from me
The years will make it better, my heart can promise that
And the tears you shed in that foreign room
Whatever its size, will form for you a bath
Shed me lightly –
Or, scrub me off; please feel my light depart
No more will I cast nighttime shadows
Or feel you in the dark
Just a footnote folded over –
And I can live with that
To say I left a mark’s too much
A smudge, yes, that’s much better
It’s simpler always to deal with that –
Just wipe it away with your pointer and spit.
