Forget Not... Poem by Nestor David Armas

My heart escaped

Out of my chest

Lies flapping

On the ground

Gasping for love,

It's slippery

And I can't catch it

Place it back

In the empty bowl

In my chest,

Like an echo

That will never

Come back,

Your memory

Will be the only

Record repeating

In my head,

I forget not to

And remember

Every moment

Comes back

And I'm drowning

Once more,

Cold water

In my nose

Hurting,

Maybe you must

Stay away,

So I can continue

To love you,

Like this forever...
