This is a poem that I wrote really recently.
Give it a read? :D
When You Forget
by Annie Lai
When you forget me,
my soul in your mind
will slip away.
Piece by piece.
shard by shard,
bit by bit,
I will fade from your memory.
All that will be left
shall be a tiny tidbit
left for you to
subconsciously grasp onto
but lose grip of.
You will be puzzled
by this sudden recognition
of something - or someone - unknown.
You will struggle
to understand
what has just surfaced.
Will the unknown plague your mind?
If so,
how long?
Will the strangeness
of this mental thing
confuse you?
Or will you push this
strange, unknown thought
back into the
recesses of your brain?
Locked up in a closet,
tossed into a bin labeled
“Useless Thoughts”?
Well, I’ll never know
if you forget me or not.
I can’t control that,
but the odds are you will.
I can contemplate over this
for months and months on end.
But I won’t.
I’ll just sit here
and hope for the best.
Maybe you won’t forget me.
Will you?
