Remember Me (Minimalist Version)

Remember Me

The smoky fog hung low,

The Gothic skyscrapers closed in on our love.

Uphill, up the road, away from me

You dragged yourself away.

You must be tired.

Rooted, I let the oozes of rain

Play squash against the sidewalk 

On the longest night

Within kaleidoscopic light

Amber; the heat in your hands

Navy blue; my sadness, I'm losing you.

Love, I have been told,

Is not the be all and end all 

Of this world,

And this would explain; I turned around,

And I walked away.

I could not shave your head

So I let you walk alone.

This is where the poem should end- 

A groaning, grayscale, grieving apologue.

Picture my surprise

When I'm told that love

Is happiness- 

Joy, selflessness alone-

Dance in me,

My sweetest voice,

You will seldom dance alone-

If you Remember Me,

I will carry you

And I have the world.
