Pain of Love II - 11. Words of Insignificance
I love you, you know.
Will you remember that?
Long after my words
no longer appear upon your screen?
Will you remember how once
my words wrapped around your hand like fingers
and promised they would never let go?
Will you still feel that touch,
even after they have broken their promise?
Words of beauty should never be forgotten,
should always be remembered by someone.
Words of beauty and depth,
words which hold the soul of the person
who can never touch you with anything else.
Except mine have never been words of beauty,
just words of mediocrity, hollow words
worthy only of fading into that darkness of obscurity.
And it is a fitting death they die, just and deserved.
So in acknowledgement of the relative value
of my words to the universe, and indeed
their lack of intrinsic value
I change my question to you,
you whom I love and will always love:
Will you forget, please, the words
that had no more substance than a ghost,
that even now are dissipating into nothing,
the words that had no more significance than I?
