Forgetting Love

love said to forget

    how could I forget him

his heart stitched to mine

    and when he died so did I

love wished me to forget

     I refused to...

still holding onto him

     willing him to breathe

he never did...   so I dreamed

and without me noticing

                        I, too, danced a waltz with Death

while Death breathed in my life

     And I was...

dancing slowly

       breathing softly

exhaling calmly  

        screaming quietly

the years passed

    I tried and tried

but I couldn't hold onto Forever

  I had to forget

I had to forget love 
kill Death
and invite Life again
