Erase Me

Erase me from your memories
so I do not think of you more.
Cast me away from your gaze
its softness cuts me deeper than any knife.
I do not wish to be remembered
in the way you so paint me.
I no longer wish to be your darling,
forever sweet and kind. Cast me from your life
so that I may love freely,
for no matter the day or time
I will fall at your feet willingly.
