Remember To Forget

You taught me how to love; you taught me how to live; you taught me how to laugh; you taught me how to cry, but when you left, you forgot to teach me how to forget you.

It’s  two a.m., says the clock

But I’m still awake, reminiscing the past

Was meeting you just a sort of luck?

Suddenly out of my grasp, not meant to last?

 

I heard you’re doing fine without me

You’re with her now, you seem so contented

Is taking me for granted just too easy?

Now you’re not around, you left me deserted.

 

Whenever I see you, it’s just awkward

I can’t talk to you like I used to before

I’m the greatest pretender, I deserve an award

I’m smiling but deep inside it cuts me to the core.

 

I existed in your life, don’t you recall?

I’m probably in those unwritten chapters

You remembered to forget me, after all

Left me in the dark with my heart shattered.

I love the picture ("Hi, I exist") and I love the poem. This is really sad and heartbreaking. It really hurts when the other person moves on easily and you're left remembering the past and hoping he'll come back. You showed it well through this poem. I think it flowed well, and the rhyme scheme was really good. Good job!

Aww! :'( This is amazing and I know exactly how you feel! My boyfriend I just woke up and he's already in love with another girl! It really sucks! But reading this poem was amazing and it made me feel a lot better!! :) Thanks for putting this up!

I quite liked 'whenever' to 'before' I thought that was powerful and poignant. The use of oxymoron 'remembered to forget me' I thought that was great in giving the idea that he purposely went out of his way to forget, and so emotional distance, with a tinge of anger is expressed well in this poem.
