Remember me?

Some forgotten things...

I am the useless blabber

That you used to have every night

With two friends over the phone

When, with a third, you had a fight.

Remember me?

 

I am the purple sky

That you would so lovingly gaze

But as time passed and you got older

I was lost somewhere in the haze

Remember me?

 

I used to be the cheerful shout

Declaring “Mom! I am home”

But now I am nothing but a dull thud

Of you hitting the soft foam

Remember me?

 

I am the soft whispers

That went on in that mind of yours

But slowly you got too busy

And I got washed along with the daily chores.

Remember me?

 

I am the joy that you felt

While watching your favorite cartoon show

But now I am mere pangs of awareness

That the newsflashes bestow.

Remember me?

 

I am the satisfaction that you felt

When mom fed you with her hands

But you lost me in the restaurants

As forks and spoons took their stands.

Remember me?

 

Why did you have to forget us?

Cast us completely away?

We could have managed to stay somehow

With those responsibilities under-way.

 

You are a changed person now

But you were better before

Think about what all you are missing out

It was long, but not that long ago.

you are right alicia.. i intended to personify the feelings.. thats all :) these are the things that those feelings want to say but can never manage to...

This is a rather interesting poem… Somehow, this "me" doesn't feel like a person to me, but a metaphor instead. Either way, it's intriguing and I really like it.
