Would you care?

@Uootem

a nightmare... one more incubus
such futile existence is this
will i ever awaken from this dream
to find you still here?...

where did our moment go...?
yesterday we were
with so much love to share
just an illusion today;
nothing appears real....
the years whisked by... didn't they!?

have you forgotten me... forgotten us?
at least an ephemeral thought
in a dusty corner of your memory
of that moment spent in youth,
am I still at least that to you?
could you be reminded
by a gothic poem like this?
a random assortment
of words scrawled in
such frustrated hopelessness.

will you ever understand
the emptiness i endure inside
if only you could dream my dream too?...
you can not answer questions you do not hear
I speak in this silence for no one is here.

as emotions gather in my eyes
I scream with this pen...
scratching at the purity of the page...
... such futile words...
should I wad it up in a ball
and let it disappear...
would the emotions wan if I did?

perhaps if I dream of
the wonderful times we shared
perhaps if I focused my recollection
on the places we walked together
perhaps if I just lived in that long ago land....
but I'm already there... I never left
for fear that you would return and not find me waiting...
but.... really... would you care?
