So they say that nothing lasts forever
But I’ve discovered that they are wrong
Our Pasts
Our Yesterdays
Will always be
Every moment you had
Piling up like stones
The weight breaks your collar bones
Cracks in your heart from every lie you told
The past is forever
Photos
And social media posts
Memories
And letters in shoe boxes
All have ramifications for the present
The past filters our vision better than Instagram
It dictates what future we can walk
It predicts our scraped knees
And ruined relationships
Because they say nothing lasts forever
But they are wrong
The past is resistant
even to the end of the world
For my future is not guaranteed
I don’t even know when my last breath will be
But the words I’ve spoken are now a part of our history...
