Forgetting

By Dani

Did I forget because it no longer matters
Or was it something I’ve never really known
It is only but a calendar’s square
Surely it must be
Truly
Actually inconsequential

I’ll never know
what this absence of recollection
Will ever mean to you

But to me

To me it is of confusion
Did I not know what that square represents
Or simply
Since you’ve ousted me from your life
And I’ve ousted you from mine

Did I simply forget
Cause let’s be honest
Who the fuck actually cares

It’s only a birthday
And I’ve had many
Most of which people
never even cared to show up for
