"The Forgotten" by Steve Doyle

SciFi/Fantasy text 18 out of 45 by Steve Doyle. ←Previous - Next→

Someone said you never really die until everyone has forgotten that you lived...

←- The Football Game | The Floridian Fountain -→

The Forgotten

Though a hundred years have passed

Bony fingers reach up

Up toward the grass.

While somewhere above

Mourners move in solemn silence

Among the stones of their loved.

Still, The Forgotten cry

Out to the silent mourners

Don't let us die!

Alone.

Unloved.

Forgotten.

26 Dec 2003	Nicholas G. DeBruno	Loading... So sad. I have a poem named forgotten, but it is very different. Funny how almost the same itle can mean such defferent things. Well, I thought it was a little sad, but sometimes that is just what wants to come out!! ^_^
