Array ( [sid] => 65805 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => The Remembrance [time] => 2004-10-01 21:11:37 [hometext] => This is about the fear of not being remebered after you die, which is my biggest fear (except failure). I'm gonna make this up as I go along, so it may not make any sense lol. [bodytext] => These days are closing in, and I'm feeling like I'm already forgotten. If I could take one last swing, I would knock you across the table. Just to see you falling over me one last time...

What will happen when my head finally rests? Will my last memory be of a silk-lined pillow? Or will you instead recall the life I lived, the lives I touched? Will you be able to think of the times I made you laugh or helped you stop crying? What's going to happen when my eyes close for the last time?

These days are closing in, and I feel like you remember nothing. If only I could say one last word to you, I would never stop. Just to know that you were the last thing I saw.

When my days have ended, will you live on like nothing ever happened? Or will you mourn for my moving? Will you recall the way I lit up when I saw you, or the way I listened? Or the words I found to cheer you up? Or will I be remembered only for my failures? Or will I even be remembered at all?

Excellent write, one of my greatest fears is not to be missed or remebered after I die.

very sad, yet honest. i don't know u but i admire your poem here. you took a very sad thing and made many good points with your writing. if you haven't ever heard of this song"When the Sand Runs Out" by a country group, Rascal Flatts, please find it and take a listen . it will make a difference.
