Remember Poem by Jamal Brown

Sandy beaches and rocky road ice cream.
Do you remember that?
The way the night felt when you were with me.
Do you remember that?
Silky bedding and bare skin
Smiles on our faces were mile long grins.
Then, night fell, and I died within.
Do you remember that?
I stay by the phone, waiting for you to call.
My faded heart surrounded by empty packs of
Newport, Seneca, and Paul Mall. My lungs flooded
with straight gin and fine wine.
Our love sinks through the quick sands of
time.
Do you remember that?
You said you'd always be there for me.
Your hand, I could always hold.
So why am I leaving this world, so lonely
and so cold?
Will you remember this?
Sweet love and hope is what we
once knew, but since there's no more we, it's
all over and threw.
