He sent her a forget me not
Each time she thought she moved on
It was blazoned into her eyes
She had become his own little pawn

But the fact was that
She didn't know what he was doing
A slick smile and gentle stare
His words, in her mind, were still brewing

The forget me not was
The reason she'd come to be, to speak
Of the terms that derived all
From her, she had become so bleak

Forget me not, the words
That he never said, but echoed in her head
Scratching her away day after day
And he would be fed with the blood that she shed


 "It's my heart that pounds beneath my flesh
it's my mouth that pushes out this breath..."-FTE

Hmmmmm...  interesting. I really liked the fourth stanza. It speaks a great amount of emotion.

nights: this is a well-written and moving piece, but i feel as though i'm missing some deeper meaning behind the words you've so cleverly strung together... perhaps an explaination?

sincerely,
jerome the mysterious priest

 A savage place! as holy and enchanted
As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted
By woman wailing for her demon-lover!
~Coleridge

A "Forget Me Not" is a flower.

forgetting is the hardest part of healing, and how funny when it finally does come, you could never pinpoint it...it just slides in and off you go with a smile...great poem

Thanks for all the responses, i don't think i've ever gotten as many as five before.  An explination to this poem... my friend was talking to me about this guy that  she had strong feelings for, and he for her also.  They hooked up, and that was it.  He never spoke to her again, never looked at her...and now he suddenly realizes that she exists again, when she's trying to move on.  And it's consuming her.  
Thanks again for the comments

Sad your poem so I believe
Love should never be a deed
Not physical or otherwise
Sad your poem I realize

You done well




 The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools.

ditto on what helmutb said...

A sad thing is love
But sadder when abused
Listen to thy heart
Never let it be used

good job on this...thanks for the read..
