Would you remember me?
If I placed my gaze here, if I looked at you like this...
If I stole your attention...and your kiss,
If I tugged at your heart with every willing bone...
If I kept muttering your name deep in sleep.
Would you remember me,
If I convinced you the sky was red
And turned around to make it blue again?
Would you remember me,
If I whispered my timeless wisdom to you,
My useless, ageless thoughts-
To a resolute mind, and the core of true
Intelligence?
Would you remember me,
If I felt you.
If I touched you in ways none other could
If I trapped you in my arms
Clouded your mind with lust?
If I reached to what's deep inside of you
And felt that essence with my bare hands?
Would you even recall my name?
No.
You won't.
Would you remember me,
If I put all of my life's energy
Into that moment I could see you smile;
If I fought, and bled for the days
That I'd wake up by your side,
Daily?
Would you remember me,
If I loved you, truly,
And showed you that such a love is real?
No.
You won't.
So let me drift and finally be a man of my word,
Let me wander past all of what could make me absurd.
I'll remember you...
And you won't know me...
But every dent of where my fists have gone
Will remind you of all that's wrong.
