Sometimes I like to watch people and try to see
Who is happy
Who is free
Who wails at night
And each morning basks in sunlight
Who has a home with a little garden
And who is still trying to make a bargain
Who could find light amidst sorrows dark
Who is healing a broken heart
And I always wonder who could be
As lonely as me

Forget me not when we were but two buds basking in the warmth of sun's rays
Forget me not when we were curious critters seeking endless adventures
Forget me not when we were bravely sailing through life's tides
Forget me not when we were embracing tightly in the face of hardships
Forget me not when we were two withered flowers reminiscing the bloom of youth
Forget me not when we were no longer bound but two stars illuminating the endless sky
Forget me not for I shall never forget you
A poem I wrote for a friend a while ago

While the vines of your presence constrict my lungs and won't let me breathe
I try to calm my poor beating heart and set myself free
One more day
One more week
One more month
Don't give up on trying
Why won't you let me be?
Even if you keep pulling me back in the same cold depths
I am still trying to defy you
You just keep on spinning that same web
Why won't you let me go?
Am I not human in your eyes?
A short poem about trying to set yourself free from someone who keeps pulling you in for attention and keeping you in emotional limbo, treating you as if you are not human.
