"I would rather that you remember me as..."
Where will this fragment of a sentence take you? To the past? Into a dream scenario? Righting a wrong? Tell me that story. Any genre is welcome. Please tag me with the finished product. #rememberme
I would rather you remember me as a star
Worshiping me for sewing solar systems together
Blinding, searing, a white dwarf
One rotation away from exploding
Consuming even black holes in all of their might
I would rather remember you as a lightning storm
Striking, lighting me aflame, electrocuting
Brightening up my world for only seconds,
Giving me just enough to stick around
Teasing, taunting, tormenting
Blackening my flesh, you ate away like acid
You burnt out my stitches then blamed me
For falling apart
But instead I'll remember you for your waters
Feeding, rejuvenating, growing me stronger
And you'll remember me for my willingness and understanding
For drinking your rainstorm even when we both knew it was polluted
