Forget-Me


forget-me-nots forgot me so i chose to forget too

but never will i ever forget how they smelled like you

in days they hardly woke my senses, but then came the night

their scent so powerful i couldn’t breathe i couldn’t fight

and when i think about the times i chose them over air

it makes sense now why i was dizzy, dazed and without care

i guess i always knew, that all flowers are meant to die

one shouldn’t mourn the loss but rather soften their goodbye

 

forget-me-nots forgot me so i chose to forget too

but never will i ever forget how they smelled like you.

Love the use of repetition on the ending. It seals up this piece nicely without feeling cliche. My favorite line was ...but rather soften their goodbye...a fresh, unique phrase.

<p>Oh my god. First off, I love how you used flowers as a metaphor without using roses. Second, this made me feel all the feelings. I wish I could select a favourite quote, but this poem is so quotable that I can&#39;t.</p>
