Don't Forget

There's no ill will No wanting for revenge I don't want her to hurt Don't even want her to regret I just want her to think To remember now and then Please don't forget Don't lose the memory of my face Remember how you felt Not the love or chemistry But remember being safe Anchored in the storm I don't want her to be sad That would not be very kind But what I really want Is to be a splinter in her mind

Hi Ludden, I suspect the name you use is a spoonerism. Your poem seems interesting to me as it defines the rational thinking we might use to get over what happened. The buried thoughts in the subconscious might be more difficult to deal with as those are there and require a lot of work to deal with over time. I wish you good luck transforming the relationship you have to your memories. Many of us have been through this sort of thing. Smiles!!

I recently ended a bad relationship. I wish the opposite for mine... Very nicely written though. Angers Fate
