remember me not

By downwardspiral

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

remember me not when your lids flutterclosed; lashes dusting moon-kiss'd cheeks.might the symphony of memories cease,lest i dance through your dreams with perfect pirouettes.remember me not when morning shreds the shroudof pitch, placed over you so carefully.might dawn's sudden, painful beams of trutherase from your eyes my visage;leaving no explanation for your seeping tears.remember me not when upon the wind  is carriedthe octaves of my voice.  sharply turn from the breeze,discarding the shards of recognition which openwretched, gaping wounds in your flawless facade.remember me not when a dirge is softly playing for your life, wasted and lost.  ringing loudly in your ears,might it never conjure the misplaced remnants of what was to be.  mourn you not the passage of time--Remember me not, lest you love me once more.
