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
