Remember. Don’t Try to Forget.
Don’t Try to Forget
It’s clear…
It will take a long time,
For everything to get better.
Wait…
More…
Open wounds will scab over.
You will grow silent.
Forgetting their places, unknowingly, unintentionally,
You’ll scrape them open again.
A time will come when you’ll bleed with pain once more
Your breath will catch at times,
Your throat will tighten.
You won’t be able to swallow the days gone by.
Suddenly, creeping in silently,
Your memories will sting
like a bitter snake with venom.
Every morning when you wake,
You will ache.
Your mind will split with headaches,
The more you resist, the more your stitches will burst.
Every mistake pinned to your skin
Will stab deeper within.
As you endure, you will turn to ice.
You will grow cold.
It won’t be enough to pick up pen and paper;
You will stitch your tears with needle and thread.
Your tongue won’t sing farewell songs,
You will cry laments like prayers for the dead.
The light in your eyes will dim even more.
This time, the rains won’t quench your thirst.
You will walk, bleeding as you go,
And no one will understand your silence.
You won’t be able to explain.
Words will fall helpless.
You will hide like a mute nomad,
Seeking out a secluded silence.
You will get drunk on sobs.
Your knees will buckle,
You won’t bear the weight
buried within you.
As it grows heavier,
you will shrink into a corner.
Until your voice is torn from your throat,
It will destroy you.
You will cry out like a newborn baby!
You will forget everything you know once again.
Don’t be deceived by anyone.
Time will be the only cure,
Remember.
Don’t… try… to forget…
Each night, buried in your bed,
You will plead with God.
You will cling to prayers for this nightmare to end.
“When I wake up in the morning, let everything be ‘past,’
Gone,
Exhausted,
Finished.
Amen.” you will say.
Each day as the dawn breaks,
You will return to the beginning again.
Don’t give up,
Be patient!
Forget your body and witness your spirit.
Don’t try to rip out your heart.
You cannot.
You cannot sleep in peace.
‘I swear by the sun and its brightness,’
Don’t forget…
Every pain of yours is mine,
Every moment of yours is my memory.
I am buried in your void.
Now.
Once again…
Farewell…
Farewell, my love, with one final glance,
The one you turned to, now in the mirror’s dance.
And now… farewell once more.
