Purge

If memory could be silenced
And I could just forget
I'd feel within
No deep chagrin
No actions I regret

I wouldn't have these scars now
No sense of what was true
There'd be no tears
No lonely years
There'd be no missing you

And each night before I fall asleep
I wouldn't feel this ache
I wouldn't wish to turn back time
And then just stay awake

My dreams would be without meaning
For you I wouldn't see
There'd be no haunt  
I'd feel no want
Empty and yet free

I'd go about my business
No fears of seeing you
I'd go out more
Or just explore
Or try out something new

And there would be no ponderings
No stories with no ends
Have you moved on
Where you have gone?
Or are you just like me?

If memory could be silenced
And I could just forget
I'd feel within
No deep chagrin
No actions I regret

Yes, that would be a blessing
I know I would be free
But somehow I know
That I can't let go
Without you there's no me
