in the pouring rain

wet fingers filled by tears
draw a name across the sand
leaving behind no trace
only waiting anxiously to deceit more
in skies wait a steady race
to clue you in
deeper than a puddle
love crawls again behind you
it'll get you
when you least expect
it will kindly offer a hand
then snatch it away
why can't people grow old in peace
a tiny glitch in the world of helpless humans race
i am going to fall
it isn't about you
why would i care so much as to leave
palms sweaty in the life of a queen
worrying about nothing
and i laughing uncontrollably
because you are pitiful
you know i don't mean it, i never do
so you think
will you believe the same thing when
i tell you something is wrong
with me
or you
would you believe me then
course not, nothing changes
the old world of black and white
too bad dorothy and her farm house couldn't see
how much we have
and how little we appreciate it sometimes
until the oceans take over us
making string puppets out of
ties that wouldn't bond us
simply force
we won't change
maybe its for the best

Morning mist clings to my face, and my soul opens up to you......

Riley, you're quickly becoming one of my fav poets in Teen. I liked this piece all the way through. Especially the middle. I couldn't quite pick a favourite line(s). Keep writting dear, I'll keep reading.

That was one of the best poems I've read on here. Great work, but I'm not sure that I get the title. Rememberance is not what? Maybe it's not for me to get, I don't know.

KnightlyShadows: Thank you a lot. Your favorite? Awesome...


Twinkie: The title has a kind of second meaning for me. Remebrance is Not....is ties in with the way that I don't want to remeber all of the stuff in the poem...sort of...it's hard to explain....
