poems for you. always for you. ✓

u n t i t l e d

this one's about how i feel like people from past friendships don't remember me and how i'm just kinda forgettable in general ig haha welp

anywayssss i don't want to end this book on a depressing note so maybe just one more poem before the end of this random collection :) 

i wish i stuck with a theme for this book but it's honestly just all over the place

i also reused a lot of my old lines and metaphors in this poem, so i'm sorry about that. i got a bad case of writer's block :(

-----

i'm easily forgotten,

slipping from your memory

like a raindrop

streaking down a window,

there and gone,

even as i try to cling

to the glass

with what's left

of frayed memories

drained of the magic

that always flowed

from your fingertips

when you brushed them

against the back of my hand

i know

you only like to remember

the rainbows

arching against the sky

and never the storm

that came before

or the beauty in the rain

and how it keeps

knocking on your window

as rainbows fade

i wish you remembered

and looked for the

reflections in the puddles

instead of the blank blue

in the skies

that swirl with the future,

i wish you wanted

to fall back into the past

and find that i was

worth remembering,

i wish you weren't so quick

to unravel our tapestry

where our story lied

in the tiny stitches

if you looked close enough,

if you felt it as it was

woven

i wish i could've went back

and had been

something that can't be

forgotten

maybe then my name

would sound like

a song to you

or an aching regret—

i just want it to bring

a memory

no matter how

faint or 

bittersweet,

i want you to hold it

before letting it go,

taste the copper

the rust

and know that it was good

even if it wasn't gold 

love,

mari
