It's now been years, moments frozen behind glass. with our fingers interlaced, like lattices of coloured paper, neatly folded into swans. Bold, elegant, proud. a small army of comfort, in the small battlefield. with rows of paper flowers, all blue, lavender and crimson. once alive with our laughter. squares of paper, left strewn across the floor. torn, ripped and split. now burnt with hate, burnt with ruined passion. leaving a charred memory, scattered among the ashes, drifting away, gently. Like the swans you used to fold.
