this one's about how i feel like people from past friendships don't remember me and how i'm just kinda forgettable in general ig haha welp
anywayssss i don't want to end this book on a depressing note so maybe just one more poem before the end of this random collection :)
i wish i stuck with a theme for this book but it's honestly just all over the place
i also reused a lot of my old lines and metaphors in this poem, so i'm sorry about that. i got a bad case of writer's block :(

i'm easily forgotten,
slipping from your memory
like a raindrop
streaking down a window,
there and gone,
even as i try to cling
to the glass
with what's left
of frayed memories
drained of the magic
that always flowed
from your fingertips
when you brushed them
against the back of my hand
i know
you only like to remember
the rainbows
arching against the sky
and never the storm
that came before
or the beauty in the rain
and how it keeps
knocking on your window
as rainbows fade
i wish you remembered
and looked for the
reflections in the puddles
instead of the blank blue
in the skies
that swirl with the future,
i wish you wanted
to fall back into the past
and find that i was
worth remembering,
i wish you weren't so quick
to unravel our tapestry
where our story lied
in the tiny stitches
if you looked close enough,
if you felt it as it was
woven
i wish i could've went back
and had been
something that can't be
forgotten
maybe then my name
would sound like
a song to you
or an aching regret—
i just want it to bring
a memory
no matter how
faint or
bittersweet,
i want you to hold it
before letting it go,
taste the copper
the rust
and know that it was good
even if it wasn't gold
love,
mari
