Forget Me

Forget my face, it's not important

Neither is this fleshly frame

Forget my rough and clumsy fingers

Lose my image, lose my name

Forget the roughness of my stubble

And the colour of my eyes

Forget the way I never fit

The space my body occupies

Forget the way I always stumble

Gawky as a fresh spring calf

Forget my voice, each halting mumble

Off-key song and braying laugh

Forget the way my clothes don't fit me

And my always cowlicked hair

Forget whatever private things

Might hide beneath my underwear

Forget the times I know you've wondered

Whether I am even real

I only ask that you remember

Everything I made you feel
