It Is Better to Be Forgotten
By Amber Jones
There’s a part of me that
Always seems to fear
That you might forget me
In a week, month, or year.
That one day all we had
Will fade into the dark
Just dwindle in passing
With no sign of that spark.
That our memories will
Disappear in a rush
And all that we were will
Simply be behind us.
I’d like my memory
To stay with you forever
A painted picture on
Your heart; a true treasure.
If you won’t take me with
You then please don’t forget
Hold me somewhere special
Just don’t set me down yet.
And if you do move on
With my memory too
Then please don’t ignore me
And our tender ties undo.
It hurts far worse to be
Quite simply ignored
To be forcefully lost
As just another record.
It’s hard to know your back
When before you I’ve fallen
So please don’t ignore me
For I’d rather be forgotten.
