fragile past

A Poem by hypochondrita

.

pictures never quite capture the full aspect of a moment.
amazing hability to freeze time

yet always stuck in the almost there zone.
bittersweet.
memory isnt reliable.
the mechanisms we built to document the past arent reliable.
guess we must just accept that what has already happened has a way of escaping from us.
we live through stories.
ornamented ones.
and we like to pretend those decorative choices our brain made for us were there all along.
farewell dear right now
we're seconds away from you being watered down.
