Forget Thee... Poem by Nestor David Armas

For no reason at all,

Why do my tear drops fall?

One after another,

The cold makes me shudder,

Life is not so real,

Numbness is all I can feel,

I realize I'm so alone,

The room is cold as stone,

But reality is different,

It's just my mind hell-bent,

I'm surrounded by life,

But to my wrists I'd take a knife,

I cannot stand any more,

From crying my eyes are sore,

I wanted you more than life itself,

Yet you shunned me away like an elf,

It hurts me so to see you now,

How when I speak you raise your brow,

The same brow on your heavenly face,

That not long ago made my heart race,

When you'd let me I'd cover you in kisses,

But now I'm afraid how your voice hisses,

Where did I go wrong?

Did you just play along?

I can't stop crying,

You can't stop lying,

But why should it matter,

I'll take this on a silver platter,

My life is all but empty,

I'll just forget thee...
