If I could select what I forget,
The files i would shred!
And I’d neglect to recollect,
Anything you had said,
And you could call on me,
’Cause honestly, I couldn’t implicate you
But if you want to know the truth,
I’m no good for you
I’d never lie to save you
But how selective is
This broken coping mechanism
That made me lose huge swaths of youth
And then allowed me to remember you?
And may I recommend we not pretend
You worry for my safety
Because, in the end, i comprehend
You’re forest’s worth of shady
And I wish you well
Also farewell,
We’ll all be fine without you
’Cause when people can’t be used,
They’re no good to you,
They no longer have value
Now that I’m not very useful,
I expect to soon be free of you
And when you’re out of options,
I bet that I will hear from you
You’ll use what you can get and then,
I’ll find myself on the outside again
