Forgotten Song

Being forgotten
Yeah that’s what happened
Has it ever happened to you?

No?
Let me explain it.
It feels like a mountain lion
Charging at its prey
It’s like a bird’s beak
Taking a nose dive into your back
It’s like a hawk
Clawing at a mouse
And ripping open its flesh.

It’s the feeling you get
At the pit of your stomach.
As if someone has punched you.
It’s the feeling you get
When you realize that you’ve sliced your finger
With a sharp knife.

But most of all.
It feels like that mountain lion,
Bird, hawk, punch, and knife
Are all attacking your heart;
At the same time.
And it just keeps happening
Over, and over again.

Until
There’s
Nothing
Left.
