REMEBER TO FORGET 

I forgot how to smile

I forgot how to laugh

I forgot how to align my dentures

Just wide enough 

Wide enough to show some happiness

To express joy

So then I do what i do best

I choose to hide

Hide behind music

Hide behind emojis

Hide behind my poetry

But I cant forget how to cry

How to form a perfect 11 on my cheecks

How to the send them straight down 

A perfect stream sent down my pillow

If only it could speak

If only it could tell the tales

Of all my teary nights

Of my sleepless nights

How I punch my head and face against it so tight

Of the many talks we've had with it

The many questions I ask it

How I badly want answers from it

If only it could!

So yes I'm lonely 

But reality is that I am surrounded by those that love me

Losing interest in the things I love

Finding solace in the darkness 

One that I created myself

A hole that I dig deeper everyday

Its crazy how I cant explain how I feel

And what exactly is that I feel

In a bid to avoid spreading the toxic moods

I choose to remain silent

Knowing it kills those that really love me

Who will want to try and understand how your crying when your life seems already in place

Why the frowns?

Why the tears?

And yet your spreading positivity and encouraging people to stay happy

It makes no sense !

Thats what they will say 

They never understand

You will never understand

So now I have a plea

If you have met

If you have been with

If you have enjoyed 

If you have shared moments with 

If you have tasted

Or even had a glimpse 

Of my happy version

Please tell her I'm looking for her

Tell her I havent given up on love yet

Maybe people not love just yet

Tell her I am running short of tears

And my head is full of crazy ideas 

As my heart continues to tear

Lead her back to me

Let her feel these voids and abyss with joy

Let her shine happiness

So that then maybe then

My head will finally breathe

My heart will cease to bleed 

So that ...

I can remember how to smile

I can remember how it feels to have my ribs hurt

So that I can forget how to cry 

I need to forget to remember..

And when I will remember 

I will forget how to have an aching and bleeding heart

So yes let the search begin

Let me remember so that I forget...

I do write and add more stanzas

I forget I wrote I write so that I can remember 

I remember myself writing and I smile 

Oh you are good boy you did remember

You did remember to not forget 

Not remembering I forgot .

Words come and go,but just nag yourself not to forget to remember.

I lay my case and surely I will remember 

to forget the bad days.
