This is a story of forget-me-nots

Of things I learned but was not taught

And all I'm asking

Is for you to hear

Me

A quiet room and sullen gaze

My passion fading in that haze

And did you ever think to look beneath?

(See you now.)

I'm all your fears and some your hopes

A misconception strung and choked

You knot me up

And never smooth the scars

 

So when asked why

I jump at night

Reach for shadows

Long to fight

I'll smile at you

 

Indicate the stars
