I hope that you remember me,
but how would you remember me?

Would you remember my smile
that you could tell more from my eyes,
than from my lips?

Would you remember my laugh
that no one could ever mistake it
for anyone but me?

Would you remember my scent
how it wavered on the pillowcase
long after I had left?

Would you remember how we first met?
The accidental bumping into a stranger
who shared you life philosophy,
which we discovered over accidental-coffee?

Would you remember the fights
how we would stay up all night
at the other side of the room,
listening to the other breathe?

Would you remember how we would make up
searching our eyes for the truth,
for the pain and the sorrow?

Would you remember how much I loved you
how I would hold you so close
when I was afraid, happy or did not want to be alone?

Would you remember the life we built together,
the apartment that you still live in
cluttered with all our 'must-haves' and trinkets of nothing?


Or would all these be clouded by the end?
Would you remember me than nothing more
than a frightened ghost of girl,
lost to a dark, dark sickness?

You never told me
what it was
that makes you
weak -

Pen to paper,
words on a page -
ink smudges
with wisdom I wish I could say.

Life is short
when days are numbered
but my thoughts
when scripted to paper
can immortalise my thoughts -
immortalising my soul

An immortal soul,
means immortal life!
Is it only my body then
that is faced with ending this form of life* -

When they bury me
can I be buried with you?
Lying side by side

Dead,
holding hands
so that my bones
and your bones
will be our bones,
it has always been you and me -

Ensuring that our promises
will not burn out like the candles flame
let me held by you for eternity
as I will forever be holding onto you,
onto our memories.

Promises made when the breath
that was fresh within our lungs
will seep into our bones
and hold each other there forever

memories, promises, stories
lingering in our remains

shattered on the floor
shards of glass
reflecting the shards of my life

as flecks pierced
into my rose scented skin

rubies lined the floor
and inches of me

unsure if it was wine
or blood
leaking out of me

like all the secrets that had never left my lips
I greeted my final dying breaths
Cíara McNamara Nov 2015
I am king of nothing
But still a master indeed

Like a craftman carves his work
I am the epitome
Of my own ghastly misery,
I and I alone am master of this fate.

The weight of my kingdom
Difficult to bear
Is the marker of my making,

And while I lay alone here
Surrounded by my kingsmen
I cannot help but laugh,
That shrill sound
Of nothing but despair -

Pen to paper
Words on a page.

Ink smudges
Wisdom for days -

Life is short
When days are numbered

But my thoughts I wonder...

They immortilise my soul
An immortal soul
Meaning immortal life -

It is merely the body that scripts the words
But the soul that writes!

Only the body faces mortality,
Ending merely this form of life.
