Forget Me Not

I don't want to be forgotten. Only loved.

Author's Note

In time you will forget me
Don't deny it, you know it's true.
We may have lost what we used to be.
But all I ever did was love you.

It's hard when I look back to those times.
Now I'm nearly broken hearted.
Forced to sputter it out in rhymes.
I'm right back where I started.

I thought this would be better for me
Letting go and trying to live a little
But part of my heart is still stuck, you see
Now my emotions are nothing more then a riddle.

He told me his secrets after not to long
I brought him up, told him his place
But when in return he asks what's wrong
All I can say is 'Nothing.' With a fake smile plastered to my face.

So as I lay crying in my bed
With all the love and pain you brought
The love you showed, the things you said,
just please. Forget me not.

Being forgotten by a loved one only means it wasn't true love. That's how I look at it, anyways. And if things didn't work out for you two, that means the real thing still awaits you.
As for the poem itself, I really liked it. A rhyming scheme like this one isn't easy to pull off without ruining the rhythm, and you've managed to do an excellent job.

P.S. I really don't know who could forget you, Kenzie. Even though I know you just over the internet, I can see how amazing you are, and meeting you in person would be the ultimate awesomness.

Forget people like that, all they bring is heartache and torture for yourself.
And in the end, they forget about you, but your mind will always, always, go back to them. How times were, and how you could've changed things for the better.
Pfft, I always do that. Thinking of someone whom hurt me, and yet I still yearn for them like a little girl. And it never helps, it just brings back the painful memories that will be with me forever, even when they forget about me.

we may move on but still remember what we shared for a little while
rhyming pretty good but meter is not so good

It's sad to be forgotten for those things you did specially if there are the thing you don't want to forget...

I have never and could never forget a single past love. This speeks truly of that feeling of beeing forgotten and knowing, or at least thinking, you didn't matter. Very well done...!

Actually it wasn't that hard to forget a friend that I had a crush on, because she did me wrong and I let her go. Really it is hard to forget someone that was/is so dear to you. I see a similarity between our pieces. They are true and from heart. It's some of the greatest kind.
