Remember Me

Remember me

How can I sympathize with the wasted effort

Of words that show weakness?

Unforgiving and ruthless

Is the cycle that permeates

Through desire and containment.

A love that wages war

With indifference and confusion;

I am unable to withstand the time apart.

Salient, elusive,

I will not suffer a mesmeric lullaby

From the damage in your heart.

Gallant your knight efforts indeed;

 I give countless reasons

To escape loves tyranny.

I find comfort in

The dysfunction of

Your tremulous course.

Life is not conducive

To crying fits on the floor

As I confer with loves finality.

Unsustainable, indecisive,

 I will not suffer your minds duality.

How can I celebrate sweet nostalgia

In the shadow of

Your past that haunts?

What song will you play

For me in the pretenses

Of her arrival?

How will you patent comfort

As I watch discreetly,

Though I might wash away your fear?

I watch with shameless guilt

In the dark as you dry away her tears.

Do you not remember me?

Have you no fault

As I depart in sorrow?

Never awakening

The exact truth of the moment,

Imagined and exemplified.

Love has no chance

Without conviction

As complacency destroys the self.

Unrelenting, ruinous behaviors

Yield to your disdain and discount.
