You never have...

This is the time when random words and random worlds take hold of me.
This is the feeling so amorphous that it seeps through me.
This is the choked pain that has your name written on it.
This is the feather breath that has suffocated, for you have forgotten it.
This is the time when I acknowledge you have forgotten me.
This is when time whispers that you don't love me.

And you never have.

You never have sounded so lovely! I love how you used the word "amorphous" and the line: "the feather breath that has suffocated..." Amazing!

Suffocating at the thought of being forgotten. Thoughts can choke us.

Pins, breathe. Though others may forget you, never forget yourself.
(Easier said than done:(

Touched me a lot..when we feel ignored or not loved we tend to lose ourselves in that feeling.Sometimes we accept it and move on slowly..
Ultimately it is all within us,to know that life is there for us at all times..
Keep the windows to the outside world open always dearest.
hugs for you

This reminds me of a senryu I once wrote...

For her I compose
short poems of endless true love
Slap! She loves me not.


Note the ending "satori" is similar to your final statement, "And you never have."

I feel your expressed your feeling a awareness through this pain quite well.

I always try to remember that it takes a great moment of joy to give birth to deep sorrow.

Brittle thoughts brought to a boiling point. The char of your pain is evident in every word.
