Please-Just Don'T Forget Me

Please…just don’t forget me, My bleeding heart could not bare it I have seen majestic mountains with you Vast Oceans, and Deserts. On Baird Street, Walnut Street, Main. Please don’t forget the way the leaves Blew into my hair, cyclones of harvest hues Around lily white spirits, you and I. My eyes green life in the season of death. Your eyes crystal clear waters when all is brown. Please don’t forget the wistful words spoken The feathery lips and whispers The tree bark scraping gently, the water lapping And poisoned multi headed fish jumping in the Foamy waters. You and I. The chill that to this day quivers through me, And each other against the wind. Night. Survival. Together. Please don’t forget the Clouds. Smoke circles. Shotgun every one you said, so we could share something. Don’t forget the sunlight playing through the prism, Colors across my cheeks, rainbow bright. Remember the wisdom conjured by mary, The written words, never doing justice To the words that were spoken there. You and I. Holding hands on Mather on our way to nowhere Plastic seats and old people passed out. Dirty were we. You and I. Please don’t forget the words that weren’t said lightly The life that I shared, the words you replied The advice, the criticism, the comfort. Please don’t forget that it was real and not Escape induced. Please remember my voice, my touch, my warmth Carry it with you for always, Please Just don’t forget me.
