The Blemish Of Time

You can’t wash the pigment
of the past away
Its stain much deeper
than all regret

Coloring lost moments
with what you hide
Painting the future
— from palettes of broken dreams

Oh, this is such a heartfelt and profound write that traverses in the very essence of past, present and future... That brokenness of past moments, manifests into pain in these seconds slipping by and we don't know what the future holds for our heart ~ either we can paint vulnerable shades onto the canvas of tomorrow or emerge from the skylines of a new sunrise.. Such a beautifully crafted piece that delivers so much melancholic depth. Loved reading this!
