Everyone goes through a fragile growth to come to terms with their past indiscretions  

Reminders

Words so hateful; words so pure

We remember how they felt, the weight of them on our bones

The heat of them in our blood, the hours of sleep lost to them

We run our fingers along the love hidden in creased sheets of paper

Love for only our eyes

Words we read and memories recalled

They turn the corners of lips

But tears dissolve the smiles and wash away fabrications of reality

Displaying the scars we all have
