Poem - Remember Me

[kokopelle]

“Remember Me” was inspired by a meme from the movie “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”. The characters are challenged to recover from the purposeful erasure of their relationship, an in that, they discover what they had to begin with.


Remember Me

Remember me when the veil
obscures the space we’ve embraced

sight accepted as the norm
then removed to spite the heart

reverence for what we’ve had
does not not assure what may come

what’s clasped to heart fails to hold
continuance of what’s most dear

an absence does not make
a heart fonder when tears remain

there is a way to salve the wound
while the past will not unwind

commemorating what came before
scribbling here to future’s arms

recollection becomes the path
looking back to through poet’s pen

to reminisce against these words
written now to show my love.
