We Are

And Will Fade

One day my name will be forgotten

Fiction always challenges the sane

All things will be forgotten in the end

***

Beautifully attractive, while inside the core is rotten

Sacrifice is lost when nothing’s left to gain

One day my name will be forgotten

***

There is no one left to send

That could ever mask the pain

All things will be forgotten in the end

***

Sad the losing of a friend

With no hope to love again

One day my name will be forgotten

***

So we practice at pretend

Though nothing will ever be the same

All things will be forgotten in the end

***

So, this moment signifies the beginning of the end

Regrets a game that only fools play

One day my name will be forgotten

All things will be forgotten in the end

    Truth is both relevant and painful; the art of poetic form which you clearly have a great hold of, allows this part of life to spill straightforward into our hearts. Well delivered Kelli.

    Kelli, you said a mouthful with this one and how true your poem is. Great work.

  • It's a scary thought, Kelli!! I love the effect of the repetition...very poignant!
