Remember Me!

When life boils you down

into its painful pit of despair
I want you to remember me!
When the pain breaches your pores
and poisons your barely clenching sanity
I want you to remember me!
When everything begins spinning
like a downward spiral of repulsive agony
I want you to remember me!
Remember me
as the one who held you close!
Remember me
as the soul who guided your own!
Remember me
as the shield who guarded you from sorrow
and the sword who fended off your demons!
If you will not remember me
then remember what you've done!
Remember how you turned your back
while I quivered in darkening fear!
Remember how you scorned me
as I held out my bleeding hand
for a cleansing release of pain!
Remember how you laughed in glee
as I slowly died alone!
