Remember me.
I’m two not one,
One you see and worry,
The other you admire but forget.
Hidden words that I hide in my poems,
To try and get you to remember me
But you don’t seem to identify
The pains that you paint
On my chalk skin.
I’m crying, pleading, begging
As I bellow:
“Remember me”
Remember how I crave silence
From the monsters in my heard.
Remember how I only go to this
When I’m about to make a terrible mistake.
Remember how I hold everything in
Only for it to come gushing out again,
An unnecessary mess on your heavy heart.
Remember how I promised this time,
To be one
Even if that means
Hiding the truth.
So I whisper to you
“Don’t remember me”
So I beg you to
Ignore my pleads.
You don’t need my pain
Along with yours
On your shattered plate.
I’ll make sure you don’t remember me
As much as I want you to.
Forget that I exist
And I will forget that I exist too.
Don’t remember me.
