Description Avoid the tattered present.
Wipe away the past.
Make sure no one will notice.
Pray the spell was cast.

Erase the wounded moments.
Delete each memory.
Prove to me that you can change.
Prove that you can see.

Forget the injured footsteps.
Don’t recognize the face.
Run from all the ink blots.
Run with quickened pace.

Bandage every heartbreak.
Mend each stick and stone.
Rip apart the diary.
Without it, you’re alone.

Ignore the things they’re saying.
Turn all the false things true.
Erase the empty bodice.
Erase the rest of you.

i know its old, sorry for being late. i dont know what your talking about, i think its very good. i always manage to find a stanza or line that im most fond of, here it is this time:

"Avoid the tattered present.
Wipe away the past.
Make sure no one will notice.
Pray the spell was cast."
