Don't let my words fade

Let my words remain in your heart forever

DON'T LET MY WORDS FADE

I will not live long,

I want my words to remain forever. 

I will leave my unsung songs,

Promise me, you will leave them never.

When I am no more, don't cry,

It would be deceiving me when I was alive.

So here I lay, under this tombstone with my head up high,

When people like my words and want to see me, tell them that I am no more;

Show them where I lie.

My words will not haunt you,

They will be gone along with me.

I will leave my words with you,

Don't expect them to be words of glee.

I wish that my words gain attention,

As I was not a person to be.

I lived all my life in seclusion,

Don't believe? Come and see. 

This is how I bid you goodbye.

After I live; before I die. 

Author's Note

I always wanted to write something that people read and recall that after I am gone.
Don't worry about me, it's not like I am unhappy now, I am fine. These are just words.

Ah, don't we all need that?... It's like there's this selfish part of us writer beings wanting to be preserved in someone's memories... or maybe that's how everyone is designed to be ...
We fade but our words trail, leaving a mark ...or so we hope..
Lovely write, nicely penned. (:

[Najam Us Saher]

Correct, we want our words to be preserved not only in books but also in one's heart. Thank you so much for sharing your views :)

[Dr. YumnaKay]

You're welcome. A pleasure always (:

[Jon Roggie]

One of the greatest things we can aspire to be is a memory, not of our self, but a day to day belief. Who cares if our name is attached?

[Najam Us Saher]

You are absolutely right, one knows that they cannot live forever so they be good towards others so that they are remembered in a good way. Thank you very much for reading.
