A screen. An act of bore where routine dialogues are said for mere regret over discourse. A set of characters dressed in their unusual appearances and mock full costumes. It's the same all over again. It repeats, repeats, repeats until she repents. I could only sit here and trace fingers over the glazed screen. I've tapped, slapped and omitted all of joy i've got to get through it yet all in vain. Her sound of laughter, mixed with joy and excitement she's feeling lingers still. a hope for me to grieve. The boy who she loved, looked the same as he was 11 years ago. For him, memories came over rushing as the ocean rushes to gallop on shore but for her it was desertion of self. She no longer remembers me, the memory of her first love. I wandered through her trenches, found her secret yet still i could not figure how she forgot the boy she called “mine”. Particle by particle. I began fading out. He is reaching for her. He is holding her hand. I gasp if i could filled with life but i turn to rust and resign from life as she slaps and shouts at him for the first time.

Faded first memory

This poem was an experiment of mine. I always wanted to write a poem from a perspective of a non-human. I wanted it to be vague as possible so i can accurately project what a memory of first live looks like.
