Poetry

Memory

Written by Jacob Ibrag

You fade away a little more every day.

What was, what used to be. Natural smiles

replaced with painted lies. What happened to

us? How did we get here? Avoiding confrontation

till it became our relationship. Years later,

remnants of you linger on. A picture

collecting dust in some corner

of my memory.

    Short, True and Sweetly Painful! Most Relationships last forever, Its the LOVE that dies within and then they pretend physically!

    The what ifs can become painful. I understand and I am sorry that someone has had to fade…don’t lose hope, though! Keep being you and shining. The world needs artists and I appreciate your art. 🙂
