You will forget

Picture
My love is an eraser
I can blot myself out so perfectly
Nobody would ever know I'd been there
I can extinguish the fire in my eyes
Allow yours to light the darkness
I can silence my voice
So yours is the clearest bell in the room
I can be your chameleon on a leash
Point out the ones you want
I will become them
Draw them in for you to charm
After I've done the real work
Uncredited

You will lose sight
Of simple facts

I've made you star of your own show

You will forget
That you are just a boat

You will forget
That I am the sea

You will forget
That if I pull myself off the paper

Relight my flame

Sing just one note

Unbuckle the tether

Your dinghy will splinter
And you will sink
Spluttering
To the bottom of me
The only sign you have been there
A shift from cobalt to aqua

Because I may be able to erase myself
But I can erase you, too
And you can't bring yourself back
