Memory of the Forgotten: A Poem on Loss and Longing

Intro:
Memory of the Forgotten is a minimalist piece exploring the emotional weight of loss and the memories that linger. This poem reflects on the ache of longing for what’s faded, lost, or left behind.

Poem:
i remember the shape of you,
fading, as all things do,
into the soft light of forgetting.

held in the mind’s edge,
a presence, almost there—

yet gone.
