Can\'t Delete Myself

I press backspace on memories 

until the screen goes white 

but my shadows still lingers 

in the glow of the light 

 

I clear out the messages 

the words, the ghosts, the proof 

but my name still sits there 

a reminder of the truth 

 

I empty the folders 

trash the pain, the past, the cries 

but I can\'t drag this heart 

to the bin where it dies 

 

I want to uninstall the echoes 

remove the version of me that stayed 

rewrite my script, erase my code 

pretend as if I was never made 

but there\'s no button 

no key, no shelf 

that lets you delete 

yourself
