Notes About The Poem

Remember Me

Remember me -
a pair of eyes?
Can you still see
my sad surprise?

In a bygone year, 
you made a choice.
Can you still hear
my trembling voice?

The air went still, 
and I went dumb.
I could not distill.
I was only numb.

The ground, I couldn't feel.
I could not taste
our last meal. 
I had been replaced. 

Remember me?
I remember you well.
Do you agree - 
heartbreak has a smell?
