I'm not sure if anyone is still interested in participating in this (not that there was a lot of enthusiasm to begin with), but I might as well try it if people are bored or looking for inspiration. The original thread with all the rules and stuff is here. I'm too lazy to go through the process of updating that thread when I'm not sure whether or not I'll be the only one doing it. Instead of doing a timed thing (i.e. every two weeks), I'm just going to make it open to whenever someone wants to switch themes or has an idea or something.
ANYWAY! The theme for this workshop is opposites. That means taking two opposing things and putting them together somehow. I'll try doing a few different things for this theme. My inspiration for the theme was actually a small group of poems I wrote about my two past (online) relationships. They're not great by any means, but their purpose was venting, so I didn't expect much from them. :P

You forgot me.
You were my only thought,
my everything.
And you forgot me.
I remembered everything,
all the things you liked
and what you wanted.
But you forgot me.
I gave what I could.
If it couldn't be anything else,
it was my thought
and my caring.
So you forgot me.
You didn't mean to
and you felt bad after,
but you still forgot me.
I wasn't in your mind.
You didn't think of me.
I guess I wasn't important.
So now,
you are forgotten.
You were my only thought,
my everything.

I guess I wasn't important.
So now,
you are forgotten.
Why are you in my mind?
You hurt me so much
when I needed support
and you ignored me
when I needed you to pay attention.
You left me
when I needed you most.
But I can't forget
the good times we had together.
I can't forget
how you said you felt
or how you made me feel.
I can't forget
your mischievous smile
and all your quirks
that made you so cute.
I can't forget
how much I cared.
And even though
I'd like to forget everything,
I remember.

And even though

I remember.
I know I can't forget
either of you.
What we had,
what I wanted,
is gone.
I shouldn't feel bad
for wanting to move on.
I shouldn't mourn
our promises I intend to break.
I shouldn't cry
when I think of you
making yourselves happy
by being with another.
I'm sorry
if you hurt like I do.
I'm sorry
if you feel you did something wrong.
I'm sorry
if you still love me.
But I need to continue with my life.
So, I want you to know
that you will always be remembered,
but I need to forget what was
and focus on what can be.
