“Memories exist outside of time”
Words quoted, not stolen
“Even though I can swim,
I always seem to drown.”
Words fumbled, not folded.
“Even when I am erased from your sight,
I will remain in your heart”
Words rehearsed, not genuine.
“You will die with a smile”
Truth spilled in tongues
Words robbed of their pride
Smiles stripped from the guide
Words I imagine as I close my eyes
Time remains a crime
And I am left breathing color
Locked in my vein.
