Checkered
I tried to regain whatever
it is that remained from
the shattered glasses
that broke the stillness
of that night.
I tried to smile again
and forget about everything
that makes this heart go into a
place
where butterflies flutter in the
breeze.
I tried to forget about
that day when the rain didn't
stop falling
just when you decided not to
come.
Time will pass.
The white statues by the park
will crumble but not
the memories of the walks we
have spent there.
Time will pass.
I wish our memories would too.
