Cruel memories,
speak of feelings never felt.
I live two steps ago;
the present an insufferable transition
as I wait for it to become an embellished history
from which confused joy flows.
Cruel memories,
lie as soon as you're made.
I don't want to miss that sunset evening
on steps where the land ends and the sea begins.
I don't want to beautify tortured moments of silence
with moonlit waves consuming rocks.
Cruel memories,
I will never forgive you for the
incessant warmth you create in my heart,
selectively destroying traces of monotony
with beautiful narratives of life lived well.
