Disbelief filled their faces when
we told them we were in love.
But when it was over, they gave
us space to breathe,
though i knew I could
never breathe properly again.
Their respect was a facade
for their mock curiosity.
Monochrome pictures of lost love
were burned before me; a severe
reminder of how I fell so easily.
Everything (these memories) were
charred beyond recognition
Except one picture.
I loved it too much.
I hid it from the world and kept it
in the back-pocket of my heart.
I defied the laws of my conscience,
breaking the rules of this charade
Every night I forced back the
hands of time, & thought of you.
My tears fell into place with
the world's ignorance
& every night, these tears fall as
time freezes one last moment
with me & you until I fall to sleep.
Honorable mention
