Why Not?
Lilacs, like I showed you, in summer swaying
over our heads in the heady
velvet air,
evolving into something worth remembering.
Miss me?
Even now?
Wonder where I am,
how I survived,
you can't even try.
No more fear, not for me,
only a fathomless emptiness.
Tell me you haven't forgotten
?
Whisper my name, once more,
hinder this veering path
you've set me on.
Never say it wasn't real, wasn't true.
Over everything else,
that was true, right
?
over our heads in the heady
velvet air,
evolving into something worth remembering.
Miss me?
Even now?
Wonder where I am,
how I survived,
you can't even try.
No more fear, not for me,
only a fathomless emptiness.
Tell me you haven't forgotten
?
Whisper my name, once more,
hinder this veering path
you've set me on.
Never say it wasn't real, wasn't true.
Over everything else,
that was true, right
?

Why do you have a ? below two lines? There should be a ? somewhere in the third stanza, which is really a question. Right? Your poem shows sensitivity and a depth of feeling, feeling I, too, can identify with. Thanks.

If you read the first letter of the lines it spells LOVE ME, WHY NOT? WHY NOT? so I put the '?' like that to emphasize
