Remember Me
Story by charles_they on SoFurry
A short ballad accompanied by a photo from a cemetery.
Remember Me
Remember me in life, not death,
recount my numbered days—
there is no sense in wasting breath
to feed a fading blaze,
Remember me in how I lived,
the colours we did share—
and light my passions yet unlived
and watch them as they flare,
Remember me in how I laughed,
don't hide your burning blush—
when humour was my only craft
I longed to make you flush,
Remember me in how I loved,
our spark that never left—
'twas born from when we met ungloved
a flame immune to theft,
Remember me forevermore,
bring poppies to my grave,
and sit beside me, like before,
and give the laughs I gave.
