Forgotten Poem by Emily Casbourn

When I leave I will be forgotten
Lifes last memory of you
Time remains moving forward
Yet I am stuck
I am still

Forgotten isn't fair
It is a lie within a shell
She left without a word
I have forgotten my own worth

He tells me I am wonderful
That I wont be forgotten
I visit and see they haven't even thought of me

I wonder if life has always been so cruel
Do they notice me
Have they wondered where I am
How I've been?

I wouldn't know it
I am forgotten
My family forgot me
I lie in this hole
I hate it down here

I miss there touch
I miss my hair
I miss seeing them smiling

I am not there
I am forgotten
Hidden in the ground
I lay still
I don't breath

I am forgotten
Lost within the wind
Lost without a sound
Forgotten by my son
My grand-children
My daughter in-law

Long forgotten
Lost in a sea of nothingness
They don't remember me
Not at all
