I once loved a girl, then one day she walked away, I have remained ever since. |
-May You Forget Me- by Keaton Foster Where have you been Forever you have been gone Far too long I have sung our song Upon silence each note has soared Such empty words mean nothing Yet here I continually am In this place that I have always been Waiting, wanting, wondering Will you ever be coming back Will you ever be mine again Certainly I know the answer But such an answer I refuse I decide, and I alone choose I won’t accept the end Of all that you and I had And the end of all that I am How could I ever dare I need you in impossible ways I live for your vacant stare I breathe for the touch of your skin Your words ring true in my heart Ignition for the very spark That continually fires my life My mind, callous and sometimes cold Many would say far beyond control An epicenter of knowledge With no defined category of understanding I only know small fragments of everything By themselves, quite meaningless I have yet to find a way To put all the pieces in their place I have yet to find a way To make sense of all that I know My ideas, turned words, made poems Written for you as well as others So inclined I hope both of you become Find me here, find me near I have not moved from the place That you left me How could I ever even dare I have lived every day since Afraid that if you were to come back I would not be here Contained in a prison with no walls or bars I am a condemned man by his heart Where have you been Forever you have been gone Far too long I have sung our song Upon silence each note has soared Such empty words mean nothing May you forget me is what you said The last time I ever saw you I wish I could, I wish I would But sadly my truest of love There is no greater impossibility I have to believe against the odds That someday you may hear me That someday you may change your mind Finding your way back to me And my inability to change I love you is an understatement Such a word that does not come close To what I feel for you May you forget me is what you said Impossible both now and then Is what I will continue to express… May You Forget Me Written by Keaton Foster Copyright © 2012. |
