Please Don’t Forget Me
I hope that the next time you pick up someone from the airport
and you wait patiently, on the second level parking
and spot someone with the same green suitcase
You remember me.

All artists know that
every form of art is reminiscent of a time, a place, and a memory
that is held deeply in our hearts, and it is easier to share it
with the world
than it is to relive the moment it was created
I swear I deleted the messages, but
there you were.
You don’t get the luxury of walking back into my life,
at 3:30 in the morning,
trying to claim something that was never yours.
we are so in tune with the world and the world sings back to us
it sings to us through our pencils, our paintbrushes, our instruments, our film
it write us notes and it colors our canvases
We are the calm before the storm
because no beautifully heated day
dies down without a lightning storm to accompany it.
You are not the stones they throw,
the lies they screech,
the threats they make,
the hate they bring upon you.
He says, you’re so strong,
and I respond, I am only strong when I am weak.
you can live one hell of a life
by changing the lives of others
You were the song we loved, a summer hit that didn’t get
overplayed, but you were on every station, and we loved to turn the
volume up high so we could drown in your music.
