I read journal entries
Of seasons past
Pausing on a page during
The springtime of my life–
where love bloomed
While ice crystals were
Still strewn on the ground.
I continued through
The heated arguments
Of summers long-ago
When passion was
Intense but only in the
Spectrums of disdain.
Finally, our love faded
In color to become
Painted with indifference
And fell like scattered leaves
Onto soil rich with betrayal.
A year-long love affair
Concluded and two hearts
Became frozen in time –
A mythical story solidified
Onto journal pages so
It will never be forgotten.
