Many wounds leave scars
Events leave memories
Scars leave a blemish
On the skin and heart
There is no trace of us
Only themes and metaphors
A changed person can become half of what he used to be.
Aditya Roy Jan 2022
Wounds heal
Memory fails
Scars never fade
A changed person isn't the same person.

You were born near the warm ocean,
grew up around there,
With your clear acrylic smile
and sun-kissed blonde hair

I, the winter cold
More north than I can remember,
We met that day you visited,
a brisk chill, that December

We drank and danced,
while the years passed over
Argued and grew apart,
our greatest fears, now sober

My memories of you, once treasured
Now, faded
as sun deprived lands complain,
Forever, jaded
