Today I cut into pieces the memories of you
They are scattered all over in the room
I am walking over them
they sting under my soles
Some stubbornly cling
At the edge of my skirt
Unwilling to be carried away in the dustpan
That memory that was so difficult to forget
Even in its tattered fragment,
It tugs at my heart
reminding me
that all is not lost
some memories
refuse to fade away
You said you believed in me
I wouldn't let you down
Do you remember those late nights
many summers ago
board games we played
guessing word perhaps
I had cheated
on a sly I peeped for answers
just to give you an impression
that I was intelligent, smart
You applauded
but I was miserable
I had betrayed your trust
although it was just a game
couldn't look into a mirror again, till
on bleeding heart
I made a cross
I would never let you down.
