Little goldfish
Swimming in your bubble
Tell me
For you
Is remembering such a trouble?
She said:
You cannot commit
Are meant to be free
It would be better for you
If I flush you to the sea.
I am a goldfish, too
At least said she,
I have a three second memory.
"You didn't care or can't
Care to be present
On all the missed,
Forgotten
Birthdays and anniversaries,"
She said,
"I can't understand how
Easily you neglect,
Work and
Relationship responsibilities."
"Excuses, excuses,
That's all you can do."
"I'm sorry,I forgot
To buy the fruit."
Her head shook,disappointed.
"At least try inventing
One that is new."
Strange, how I still recollect
Her face red,
Yet cute
When she used to get angry
That I should forget her too.
But it is easier to remember
Than forget
What's in the heart.
Little goldfish
Don't you think so,too?
