You're Carved in my Memory

"Somebody told me
That I'll forget myself
before forgetting you"

The end totally stunned me for quite 35 seconds. It is undeniable. And yet's sharp. And the real meaning behind this piece will totally be absorbed by whom has actually experienced it.

To me, this is almost like life lesson/meaning which written and is meant for me and everyone else to read. Well-penned, Khalid!

I really like this

It is a shame that for so many visits this poem has so few votes. It deserves the 5/5. I am glad to see such a potent friendship poem. You have inspired me to write of my own friends.

Love this! It's the story of my life, lol. Like the other comments have already stated, this is a small poem that packs a big punch. It's a life lesson in 9 lines, which is amazing, within of itself. It reminds me off all of the times I've said this to myself but failed to follow through. I think I should favorite this, so I don't forget this time. Great job!

:)

I totally agree with the comments above this one, your poem is very simple but powerful. I am sure that any friends would appreciate a friend like you. I love the ending because it says to me that your friendship is so important to you that you place it above your own needs.

Sweet poem...
