souls that I've been connected to,

over 14 months I've attached.

yet in a few weeks past,

they won't remember me the same way.


through frustration and grief,

I've sought them out for months.

not even my own pet,

yet I cry over them forgetting me.


when I'm fully gone, and out of their minds,

will my memory of them ever fog?

will their personalities and irritating whines,

become something I never look back on?


As an atheist I pray,

I hope for that not to be.

even if my existence won't be in theirs,

please let theirs be engraved in me.
