#forgetmenot
How silly is the little flower
to think that it has such a large impact
on anyone's life.
It's as if it says
"I know I am just a flower
and it's well past the hour
but you picked me from the rest
so I must be the best.
So when I leave,
don't forget me please."
But it's just a little flower
that was chosen for no other reason
than to bring a little bit of happiness.
Yet the flower still speaks,
"I don't understand what you understand
but I know that I am not anything grand.
But it was me that you chose.
You watered me with the hose
and I have grown to be old
but now everything I feel is cold."
Poor little flower,
how long have you been here?
Shivering and shriviling.
But bless your soul you still speak.
"I know some time has passed
since I saw you last.
But I remember your sad smile
and how you had to sit down for awhile.
Your thin white hair has become flat
and I no longer see you sit where you sat."
That small, old flower,
drooped one last time.
With one last sigh
the flower picker spoke.
"I'm sorry little flower
it is well past my hour
and you're as thin as my hair
that has become so brittle without care.
But don't you worry
he is coming in a hurry
and I will not forget you
if you will forget-me-not, too."

Forgotten.
"I didn't realise you weren't there"
"I actually forgot all about you"
"I'm so sorry I forgot our appointment"
How many times
Can one be forgotten?
Oblivion is the state of being completely forgotten,
They say it comes with death
Yet I have achieved it in life.

I wonder if
Forget-me-nots
are flowers that
bloom in May
Like how we both began;
as little Summer flowers,
dancing 'neath the Sun--
screaming not to be forgotten
And yet you did--
inflicting pain
like acid rain;
so I too, shall do as you!
But I'm a terrible liar;
and to not feel so empty inside,
I'll heed the flowers and
forget-you-not~

If my heart was a seed
And sprouted veins
That wanted to bloom
The bud would be you.
Blue petals of a Forgetmenot
That he picked
And quietly said "she loves me, she loves me not".
I would wince with each *****
In marvelous pain.
Closing in on each moment that you held the fragile stem between strong fingers.
Every bit would float away with the wind,
Casting your wishes into the sky.
When the stem is finally bare
And you thow it to the ground
I'll be left for dead,
But just know she loved you.
And as the remaining wilts
You'll be forgetting
But I will always be remembering
Hoping all your wishes come true.

only you can understand the pain that i’ve been through.
cause you’ve been forwards and backwards as many times as I
And lying on our backs we arrive
at the gates
the gates of infinity
the recipes written down
and the past all is we’ve got
to hold on to
As I spiral into oblivion
All I can think about is you
As I drown in my eternal misery all I can remember
Is that there was a time
When I thought everything would be all right
There was a time
When the world didn’t seem like such a bad place
When I didn’t notice all the corruption
And when the eruptions commence
I shall remember your name
But as my grasp on the earth recedes please,
Please don’t forget me
As a pawn in your game
I can’t safely say
What I feel
However I renounce the position of pawn
And demand the position of queen
For no one but me understands
What’s been clearly bestowed in your hands
Hidden away in eternity
Lies the key to immortality
And as your memories begin to accumulate
Mine slowly starts to fade away
But don’t worry my dear
It’s all still very clear
Forget me not, darling
I’ll forget you, in the morning.

*Tears are like rain.
Sometimes there's too much...
Sometimes too little.
But no matter what they are essential for life*

I forgot the reason of your smile,
I forgot that i used to love with all my heart,
I forgot the warmth of you by my side,
I knew you the moment you left,
Feels like the world is down to crumble,
The tears were raining down my feet,
I forgot I'm supposed to be sad,
I forgot, how my heart used to skip a beat,
I forgot i love to listen to your lullabies before I go to sleep,
I remembered the way you smile the last time,
I remember the last warmth slowly slip from my palm,
As the last petal falls,
I still remembered i used to have a heart,
And yours for me to hold on,
For my love you've carried on to your last breath..

The sparkling stars don't forget the heavens
The spectacular sun doesn't forget to rise
The wind doesn't forget to blow
Rivers don't forget to flow
Glow-worms don't forget to glow
The violin doesn't forget to sound
A lover doesn't forget his beloved
Like that
I want that
You reminisce about
me

I am invisible.
I make everything around me invisible.
But you touch my hand,
And I become a faint silhouette.
Faint, but still I am something none the less.
I am tangible,
When you hold my hand.
But you don't hold my hand very often.
You forget to,
Because you forget me.
But I am surprised
That when you open your eyes,
You don't see your empire crumbling around you.
Because when I stood next to you,
I made your world invisible.
You couldn't see the wolves behind you,
Because I was beside you.
But now, your whole world suddenly burst into light.
And reflected off the teeth
Of the monsters at your heels.

Hearing your voice puts knifes in my heart
You'd think by now the knife would be dull
But it reopens the wounds as easy as ever
These scars are never to heal
Hearing your voice makes my blood pulse
The new wounds bleed faster
You'd think I'd never forget this pain
But every time it feels just as bad
This blood will stain me forever
Hearing your voice makes my breath short
My vision goes black
You'd think I'd wake up feeling confused
But I remember it clearly;
Your voice took my breath for good

Love me
like a flower,
call me the forget-me-not
or, rather
teach me how
so that my petals may bloom
as you have taught me to
sweet sun, that I may soon love a lot

I stare at the forget-me-not,
You gave it the day you left me,
Why did you leave me?
Why did you abandon us?
I start ripping each petal,
He loves me, he loves me not...
He forgets-me-not.
He loves me.

Je pense, soulement.
Je me souviens les jours de toi.
Pour quoi?
_Je ne sais pas._
Je t'adore. Je sais que tu sais ça mais je dis-le _anyhow._

10 years from now
I hope to see you glow
Bask in glory and happiness
Live life with no sorrow
Maybe you've forgotten
The conversations we've had
But if you still remember me
I'll forgive you for that

It’s strange to be a stranger to you
Even though years have passed,
I hope you think of me
And how we made it last.
Your golden curls and goofy smile,
Burned inside my memory
School yard parks late at night,
The way you made me smile,
Oh so bright.
I wonder what you are doing now,
I hope you are happy and not alone.
I hope you found laughter
And a love that healed and was strongly grown.
Do you remember how we told each other everything,
How proud I was of the silly twisted bracelet ring?
Are you still Afraid if lady bugs,
The way they fly, they way they crawl?
Do you still give the world's warmest hugs,
Is Elmo is the best above all?
I grew up loving you,
So I beginning to accept that will never change,
But the fact that I don't know you any more,
will always be forever strange....

Hey you , I got this flower for you to hold
It's not the most beautiful , but it'll last through the cold .
Even when there's a drought , it will never grow old
It will remain to make sure these stories are told
Once in awhile you could set it on the ledge
And forget it was there , like containing a wedge
In-between two objects, with a indecisive pledge
But in those times , i'd hope you'd take it off that ledge
Gaze upon it and see your reflection
Cause your a gift like this flower is of my affection
Your too beautiful for even my recollection
Second guessing never existed
And when its petals finally wilt
Spray it down with your feelings of guilt
Let it know how horrible it felt
Give it love and water , like you know it needs help
But forgive it for all the smiles it has dealt
It's a flower , it's Beauty is made to melt
Your response to it , is my love in a nut shell
And this is the story this flower will never grow old to tell .

Kiss me under a night sky full of stars & tell me you want me
Let the moon shine as bright as the smile you put on my face
Hold my hand & tell me you’ll stay forever
Tell me that your favorite place is with me
That home is wherever I am & wherever you are
Dance with me in that silly way that makes me laugh & sing songs with me...
& even though we’re out of tune
It doesn’t matter because body & soul, you’re in tune with me
Let your energy radiate like a bright sun across a blue sky with me
& when the storm comes never leave me
Be my shelter & I yours
Laugh with me & cry with me...
& when it’s all over I’ll hold this forget-me-not flower close to my heart.. eyes closed praying that we’ll meet again.

There is peace that I am feeling
sting of my skin peeling
all your love in my blood, leaking
my world is spinning
out of control, what is this meaning?
really I need revealing
so I can start my healing
finally build my home again
this time with a ceiling
to stop all this raining
cause I'm soaked , and tired of being
comfort in letting go , comfort in believing
it's only me now , I'm deceiving myself
I feel there's no cure to relieving this
still now I set a time every day for my grieving
it feels comfortable getting your revenge

Throughout my long life
I collected a flower each day
And I kept them in a little notebook
When I died, they were the last things I had to say
And my roses, lilies, and yes, dandelions too
Throughout time had begun to rot
But one flower surpassed my days
The victorious blue of a forget-me-not.

When the night comes
I reach out in every
Language I know
Praying that
The northern wind
Carries my words
Across the sea
So that you may
Forget-me-not
