Poem: Forgetting

I was feeling the need to write today. So I headed over to [community profile] napowrimo to check out today's prompt. Turns out it was one that struck a cord. :) I liked the etheree format so much I decided to write another one. So here's my first poem in celebration of National Poetry Month.

Forgetting

Drift
away
memory.
Stop haunting me.
Why is it that I
can forget where I last
set my keys or a needed
word? The location of my car
eludes me. But you, you, are right there.
Always. Let go. Free me from your embrace.

I like the etheree format a lot, even if I still hasn't tried it yet <3

It's a lovely poem, it really resonates with me (where are my keys? Where's my glasses? Where's my head? ;P)
