false ideas

Parent message is 317532
when a love fades,
we tend to pamper our memories,
give them a pedestal
in the endless hallways
of our minds.

pictures created
out of false ideas,
chalk pastels coating our tongues
in pink and blue morning dust.

your bedsheets
pin me down.
my limbs protest,
my heart just doesn’t understand.
i’m clinging to an ending
that fizzled out
long before the crowd
ever realized the show was over.
