Don't Forget To Remember.

Ma'am...this is awesome. This may sound cliche, but I've put someone through this and have also been through this. It seems I'm also going through it again. I saw the title and was reluctant to read it - I was just about to write a song that I was going to call "Forget". It hurt to read it, but I'm glad I did. Old emotions remind us all that we're human and not infallible.

I'm often called cold hearted and evil by friends, but from a warm place in that cold stone of mine; great write :)

I just have one request before you go--

please don't forget to remember me.

i like this! :)

Wow I felt every word you penned here.
"Tangled in a web of chicanery-
searching for an escape
from this intricate situation. "
These words sent a wave of sadness through me.
I felt myself in these words. Which I love cause the more I connect to the poem I'm reading, the more I enjoy reading them.

"Faith is but a faint light
of apple cinnamon scent-"

Apple cinnamon scent-- that is a really interesting description. Very unique.

"Tears cling to my wan cheeks of loss-
never quelling this discomfort.
Ingenuous was I, and yet--

I deserve to pay this price?"

I love the ending question in this stanza.
Seems to be a turning point, a defining empowering moment for the character you are writing about.

And last but FAR from least the ending...
"This may leave me in debt-
struggling to make frayed ends meet.
But I will smile each day-
for you have a beautiful beginning-
one of which you are most deserving of.

I just have one request before you go--

please don't forget to remember me."

This is amazing! My favorite part my far, it shows the raw emotion of a person trying to let go of someone they loved so wholeheartedly... Being torn wanting nothing but happiness for that person, but not wanting to left behind... Forgotten.

Amazing imagery, masterpiece in my book.
5/5
