Frozen

May 16, 2014

The thermostat

Set at

Below zero degrees

To preserve these memories

Freeze

Our moments in time

So sublime

Like an art gallery

A live Instagram

Of the history

Of me and you

A kilogram

Of love and a pinch of pain

All the things we went through

Our times in the rain

And thunder

All of this wonder

So mysterious

Leaving us delirious

But we will never take back the experience

Only grievance

For the moments that perish

The ones we want to cherish

But can never relish

So we embellish

The bad parts

The stories from the start

Of the broken hearts

The ones we wish to delete

And burn

Set ablaze

Forget certain people we would meet

The things we did in our younger phase

After we were taught the lessons we would later learn

Now we are stuck here to yearn

For these memories

Back....
