I was looking at you. Looking through the volumes of our times, flipping through photos; dissecting kind and unbroken words; reminiscing of the best; getting lost in what was love and melting into my fears.
I should trash the whole lot. Yes? The history of loves mysteries; the value of worth. I should make a clean break. Sweep the evidence off - dump it out to space.
But I won’t This is all I have now Our shared diary

you loved me you loved me you loved me

yes, it's difficult to discard those things that we have attached meaning to ... that which we have grown to feel a sense of indenity with especially when they remind us of lost love ... so maybe its best losing our memories so we can discover new ones ... or at least try to rekindle what they once meant ...
the sentiments in your poem are powerful and effective ...
A beautiful thought Sara, the premise of which I concur with wholeheartedly.
I, too, believe that in our remembrances of things that we find that which affected us most favorably and dwell on those things. It certainly helps keep clean and orderly those times in our lives that were prone to being controversial.
Welcome!
The poems in this beautifully bound book are a result of over twenty years of observations. Observations of the world around us and on the telecommunications network. All of the hate, love, heroism, disasters, and those who help.
