Forgotten

Author's Note: Today's post was inspired by the things we forget about. This poem only skims the top of what a lot of us forget.

Forgotten words that hurt so deep,

that they left distinguished damage.

Forgotten memories that once

So memorable and were vocally repeated.

Forgotten clothes that were loved

And worn day in and out.

Forgotten books that lay

Deserted upon their shelves.

Forgotten gardens once beautiful,

Now over grown with weeds.

Forgotten homes that

Are collapsing on themselves .

Forgotten family members

That don't want to be remembered.

Forgotten lovers,

That we have no reason to remember.

Forgotten birthdays ,

That we are expected to remember.

Forgotten writing that lays somewhere

Unfinished, and catching dust.

forgotten dishes from the day before,

That no one had time to wash.

Forgotten expectations that

Were lost because we're in a hurry.

Forgotten dreams that

We failed to follow in our teens.

Forgotten events in history

That are supposed to be note worthy.

Forgotten passion of things

We once loved to do.

Forgotten poem of the forgotten

that shows we forget a lot.
