Dec 2014
I had a heart
that was concrete like sidewalk
you had a voice like chalk
I swore I was going to
memorize your laugh
try to photograph
the way it would add color
to the grey gaps
where not even weeds would
dare to grow
it is too bad
chalk succumbs so easily
to rain.

Imagining was inspired by poetry class on Decmber 1, 2014 when my professor told the class that break ups hurt sometimes because the people involved focus on what they were going to do together rather than what they actually did do together and I thought that was so true. I've played around with this poem a bit over the past month, but I think I like it how it is now.
