you can't bother me


you can't bother me
I've erased you from my mind
I could search all of my memories
but it's you I cannot find
I've burned all of your letters
threw your photographs away
your name is strangely absent
from all the words I say 
I have looked inside my soul
and set my own self free
you can't bother me

all your best intentions
won't do you any good
they will not affect me
like you think they should
your words are all uneven
they disappear like dust
I can't believe I thought of you
as someone I could trust
I think about how it's time
for you to leave me be
you can't bother me

          I am someone 
          you will never see again
          how can I believe 
          that you were once my friend

someday in the future
if you should come around
I will keep all I remember
ten feet underground
and you won't affect me
I will not run in fear
I will only tell myself
that you are not here
you don't even deserve
a trace of memory
you can't bother me
