Always Remember

Always Remember by Vanessa Chan

I. Mysterium

Behind the cover of frames

I am shielded

Disillusioned by these

eyes of night

II. Discovery

Enigmatic phrases

missing a rhyme

Will you take time to

know me?

III. Risk

It will be hard to stay

I can't promise happiness

or laughter 24/7

it might not be worth it

IV. Coveting

But I do promise

to do my very best

from the depths of my

beating heart to please you

V. Disenchantment

This is an apology

to you, my friend

I have failed you though

I've tried.

VI. Closure

Still, the memory of you is

seared into the inner walls

of my bloodied soul and I will

always remember

you
