Last night
I uncovered the past,
Sifted through
Letters,
Photos,
Our former lives.
Families disappear
Like butterflies
Fleeing a cocoon
Transform.
Friendships endure,
Others form a wasteland,
Stirring emotions,
Volcanoes that lay dormant:
Willful amnesia.
I recognize the sadness in my eyes,
The momentary happiness
So fleeting.
My arms around your neck,
Loving embrace
Quickly turns to dust,
Morphs into hate.
The past,
I tightly seal
A Rubbermaid bin
To keep the pain
Contained.
Unlearning the Fear
