Notes About The Poem

Do Not Think of Me

Do not think of me; go on your solitary way,
search empty valleys or deserted mountain tops.
Or trek towards the seashore. See, the horizons beckon,
ever-shifting, changing, always fluctuating, mutable.
 
You sucked my soul away: I am an empty husk,
worthless, ineffectual, useless. Move on towards the sun
shining in the high skies but be careful lest
you yourself are burnt away to worthless cinders.
 
So do not think of me. Move on, be bright
the future is now yours, I'm merely just a past.
 
Forget me; I'm inexistent for that is my lifeline.
Maybe I'll find a loving soul who loves me true,
but only if you do not think of me.

Sotto Poet July 13, 2021 at 5:04 AM A heartfelt poem Victor, indeed when feelings are one-sided, it's better to walk away. I loved the line: Maybe I'll find a true soul who loves me true, Excellent prose and very well penned.
