your departure<\/p>\n
left an imprint<\/p>\n
fragile slip of a dried flower<\/p>\n
I keep revisiting<\/p>\n
behind the glass of my memories<\/p>\n
frozen in time<\/p>\n
like your smile<\/p>\n
blue like the submerged<\/p>\n
ice on a glacier<\/p>\n
goodbyes are always<\/p>\n
deeper than they seem<\/p>\n
layers of emotion<\/p>\n
warped by expectation<\/p>\n
frozen by fear and covered<\/p>\n
by a sheen of desperation<\/p>\n
I left and all my memories<\/p>\n
were doused in the blue lighting<\/p>\n
of our last hours together<\/p>\n
a filter I would<\/p>\n
never choose when<\/p>\n
what we had was so warm<\/p>\n
when what we had was<\/p>\n
alive, vibrant, violet<\/p>\n
like the sky above the mountains<\/p>\n
before nightfall<\/p>\n
like the sleeve of<\/p>\n
your favorite hoodie<\/p>\n
all my memories are blue, now.<\/p>\n
turns out I learned to hate any shade of purple.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
