Forget Me, Please... Poem by Dosvedanya Rashia

I wish for you
To think back,
Before the time
We first met,

And realize you were
More joyful
Without me
in your life

I want you to
Forget, the days
We ever spent,
And remember me,
No more,
If you will…

I think that first
You should forget
The way I spoke
My voice, my words

And then the way
I walked beside you
On the path

And then forget
The way I smiled
And next forget
The way I laughed

Until the colors
Of my eyes are
Gone from
Your mind.

It is better that I be
Completely erased,
Better that you forget
I existed entirely


Until my memory-bones
Have turned to dust
And my face is a blank;

Wait until, I am a nothing;
Gone,
With the spring winds,
And the fall monsoons.

And then my name
Will be but meaningless
White noise
And the touch of my lips
And my smile
Will be nothing to you.

And the sand
will drift on, covering up
all my footsteps
where I once skipped
over the mountain passes.

And then the ripples
In the dust will disappear

And the future will
Walk upon the ancient’s
Marrow and I,
I will be estranged.
So, wait
my Corazon,
And If you ever loved me
forget me…just forget me
Please...
