I Remember Poem by Lynn Stillman

you said you would
always be there for me.
You even wrote those
very words, on a piece of paper
so that I would not forget.
I still have that note,
though it is crumpled
and worn by my tears,
which have made some
of the words hard to read.
You gave that to me,
so I would not forget,
or have any doubts.
Then you moved miles away,
I guess that love does not travel well.
I would imagine it is easy,
from a a distance, to forget people.
Out of sight, out of mind.
Funny, you were the one
that taught me to trust again.
You said you would never hurt me.
Because of that, I stopped
hurting myself.
I remember everything,
you have forgotten.
So now as the blood flows
from my wounds,
like the tears from my eyes,
just remember,
I am thinking of you.
