My Recollection

it happened on the 7th of July
a perfectly normal day 
that now sticks up 
like a rusty nail 
a forever ache
if it had been on a regular day 
it would have faded away 
like many others 
nothing special 
to make it memorable 
but, of course 
I recall each minute 
of that evening 
the months and years go by 
time does fly 
but that date will never 
leave my mind 
the evening that broke my heart

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly
