Forgotten

I am forgotten,

Just some faded memory,

A girl that you once knew,

When you lived in better days.

When the sun was warm,

And you lied beside,

The rip and roar

Or a falling tide.

My face is like the haunting,

Of some hung-over dream.

There’s a word that matches it,

But you can no longer remember what it means.

Like inside jokes from second grade,

Or photographs faded by time,

I fear that I may have become forgotten,

And that only what’s forgotten is mine.

The details are blurry, if they’re even there,

And I’m not there unless in front of your face.

I’m the wandering wisp that was left to the wind,

And the blood that was shed in your place.

It’s easy to overlook them who look over you,

Unless too unkindly they speak,

So what is the difference if one more is unnoticed,

Just another sad, pathetic freak.

Like inside jokes from second grade,

Or photographs faded by time,

I fear that I may have become forgotten,

And that only what’s forgotten is mine.

The details are blurry, if they’re even there,

And I’m not there unless in front of your face.

I’m the wandering wisp that was left to the wind,

And the blood that was shed in your place.

I was far too quiet for my own good,

Only used as a foundation of lead,

And now I drop silent red tears

In place of the ones I’ve forgotten to shed.

Like inside jokes from second grade,

Or photographs faded by time,

I fear that I may have become forgotten,

And that only what’s forgotten is mine.

The details are blurry, if they’re even there,

And I’m not there unless in front of your face.

I’m the wandering wisp that was left to the wind,

And the blood that was shed in your place.

You will always mean the absolute world to me. Cause you're my best friend. And my twin. Remember my message. You never have to go through any of this alone.

thanks, Love, but this is actually about something totally different, lol. the one i was talking about is two poems down, i think. the "one year" one. still, love you, girly!!! always have and always will

[Nicole]

wow, i just sounded really sassy. i am so sorry! thanks so much girly, for everything. i wish there was someway for me to adequately describe the way that i love you, but words hold nothing next to the absolute perfection that is you. so thank you for being the best sister in the world, and the greatest friend that i never deserved.
