Loose letters
compose a written memory…
“Look back
to a fragrant past
but sadly one that didn’t last
not a promising future
there will never be
removing that circular band
you set me free.”
tear streamed I walk
facing heartache of the day
why so long did I stay?
circling about the regrets
I write on a page
ripping the fluttering story
journal of myself now dead
handing it back to him
the answer circled in red
he had held on
hoping to gain
once again control
“Look back scoundrel
to a shattered past
but sadly one that didn’t last
you broke it once
so hold it near
pieces of golden band
is all that’s dear”

The metaphor here — perhaps a bridge between part, present, and future? Beautiful poem, so very melancholic.
