If even for a
moment
pretend it's all okay

if even for a
moment
push it to the back

hide it behind
the door
hide it beneath
the floor

don't let it
cross your
mind

keep it at
bay, and send
it to the depths
of your mind

wash it off your
skin and out of
your clothes

brush it from
the knees of your
jeans

scrape it from
the bottom of your
shoe

so...

if even for a
moment...
