A POEM UNALTERED FROM 03/14/2013:

Perhaps memories fade away

Perhaps they don’t

Perhaps they linger inside the crevice of your eyes

Beating to the cries of silence

It always seems to stay with you

A shadow waiting to be known

Perhaps they’re not real but have become twisted

And mangled in your dreams

The fine red line crosses boundaries undrawn

It lays down curled on the bottom of tiles

The droplets of water down upon the cracked porcelain drawn face

Smears of colors slowly dissolve down the drain

Revealing its true nature

But what is it?
