I Want You To Forget Poem by Mohabeer Beeharry

One day I shall not be here
To sing this song to you.
You will be alone.
The nights will be long and tearful
As the stars shed tears of tender light.
Your days lonely and endless
As long as the candle of memories
Burn in your heart
Remembering me;
This song I will leave for you.
This writing will remain
Braving time, life and failing memories.
This writing will bring me back;
And unseen, in the tender of the night
I will wipe your tears.
I will breathe comfort into your failing heart
And light the candles of happy smiles on your lips.
The night will be short again
You will not miss me then.
You will dare the tyranny of time.
This is my promise to you.
From the grave of sadness
The sunshine of gentle life
Will rise again.
You will forget.
You will forget
I want you to forget.
