I Wish To Imagine

I wish to imagine you were never here
I wish to imagine you were gone
I wish but I cannot
I wish but I am done

No memory hurts me more
No rest of it feels
Like I was never here
Like I was forever gone

You sang like a nightingale through the eternity of the night
You seemed so sane, almost divine
Until the curtain fell and truth poisoned my heart

The verses dwelt in lies
The chords were all rotten
Bloodred tears ran from my eyes
When heart lied torn and forgotten

You looked through me as I were a ghost
And spoke me no verse
You talked but to silence
I was there no more

I wish to imagine there was pain
I wish to imagine there were no tears
I wish to imagine these scars were not vain
And all my fears will be gone one day

The pain slowly faded
After years it is almost gone
Only a ghost, a little memory does not wither
Of the time, of those dreams that never were mine
