And if-- when-- I do go,
Will you forget me?
Will you let time consume me,
Drag me out of your head?
Will you allow the hollowness swallow me into it?
Is the grief truly going to ruin you?
Will it implore you to forget me,
Because forgetting is better than remembering?
Do you think you'll let me slip away?
To be lost forever as a silhouette blinking in your mind
Or will you grasp for my remaining threads?
Reach for all the pieces scattered about,
Please do.
Let time pass,
Let your heart ache,
But after all that,
Don't let me fade.
