This auburn autumn leaf, torn to pieces in the snow, shares its broken structure with my tired mind. And though your snow had melted ages from long ago, replaced by legions of purple orchids blossoming in cardiac weather, your seasoned mind still thinks it's autumn, anticipating the fall.
So run as fast as you can in this frozen hourglass of melting seconds. Run quicker than your skin until it falls off and you become a ghost. Run and leave everything behind. Run and don't look back.
But before you start running.
Remember.
Remember those who fixed your compass.
Remember those who tied your shoes.
Remember the girl who fixed your glasses
Remember the boy who gave you his food.
Remember and know that without them you wouldn't be able to walk.
Play the memories in your mind on the scarred surface of the wall and watch how the cracks slowly and magically fade.
And forget me. Forget me but please stop running. Forget me and remember who you are.

Today, I couldn't see the color of your ink. And, today, my voice is the echo of a broken record.
And every word was an arrow shot to the secret mirrors I'd kept hidden inside.
And the arrows have hit their target.
So, today the glass is broken and the only sound is silence.
Today, you are not here and I am a desert in the desert.
Today, you are not here and here is gone.
Today does not know our name.
[...]
Now, I wonder if tomorrow is an empty circle of soundless movements of lips painting heartbeats that have fallen out of sync. I wonder if doubt is the greatest warrior that has ever lived, the warrior that has never died. I wonder how vulnerable I've become on a scale of 'void' to 'full of love'. I wonder if tomorrow will be as empty as my hands feel right now.
[...]
I wonder if our hourglass of sun and snow is running out of moments.

"And we’ll never be the same;
Never, forever.
Like ghosts in the snow
Like ghosts in the sun."
