Time Teaches Finally On What Is Really Right...

the love that you are trying to show
in authentic colors, and which thru time
i have so well scrutinized

faded, green turning gray,
violet to lavender,
nostalgic, heading towards the
shore of
better to be forgotten like a very old memory of you,

i have taken a second look, and my heart weighs it too well,
logically,
the heart convinced by the pleadings of the mind,
has come to the inevitable decision,

'it is not worth it', and so i quit gently,
my fingers close,
regressing into another page of this book,

it is not pleasing anymore,
neither can it hurt.
