Remember Me

Remember me when the veil
obscures the space we’ve embraced
 
sight accepted as the norm
then removed to spite the heart
 
reverence for what we’ve had
does not not assure what may come
 
what’s clasped to heart fails to hold
continuance of what’s most dear
 
an absence does not make
a heart fonder when tears remain
 
there is a way to salve the wound
while the past will not unwind
 
commemorating what came before
scribbling here to future’s arms
 
recollection becomes the path
looking back to through poet’s pen
 
to reminisce against these words
written now to show my love.

“Remember Me” was inspired by a meme from the movie “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”.  The characters are challenged to recover from the purposeful erasure of their relationship, an in that, they discover what they had to begin with.
