On deleting a message after too many days
2006The trivia we acquire
the paraphernalia we release
the memories we desire
the ghosts that we appease.
Messages saved, unlistened to
familiar tears make you choke
regret an unkind master
reminisce, revoke!
Messages saved forever
long last released by chance
they shadow a dark burden
reminisce, recant!
Messages saved for too long
deleted by design
the shadow more translucent
reminsce, refine!
Messages saved for years now
released into your mind
the words fade into silence
reminsce, rescind!
The memories we desire
the ghosts that we appease
the strenth that we acquire
the pain that we release.
