ERASE

They were written in ink

You don’t like the colour of,

They were poetry

You don’t want to read between lines,

They were the quenched thirst

You cannot throw up,

And when they were gone

They left behind an empty space

A void, you can’t erase,

You may forget them

But you can’t erase them,

And when,

You would turn the pages of your life

They would be a tiny memory, you can’t erase,

So you eventually learn,

You cannot erase the things you can’t change!
