3X4

Tear it!
Tear it now!
For Someday,
Glancing at that photograph wont be enough
You would want to reach through that
Frozen moment,
Scoop me into the palm of your hand
And hold me still.
So that,
You could just
Look at me
See me
Feel me
The softness of my toes
The curve of my knee
The bridge of my nose
Someday just that polaroid of small memory
Will set you free and cage you in its 3X4 all at once
Your throat will finally utter the words
pulled out by your suffocated heart-
It will breathe
So, you will imagine to-
look at me
See me
Feel me
The smell behind by my ears
The taste of my bottom lip
The sound of my soft moan
All at once!

Someday, that little photograph
Will
Hold all of your realised love
But
Drain all of your hope
And
Flutter with all of your regret
Then,
It will be too hard to break
That house of memory
You will be too timid to tear
That curtain to the past
So tear it now!
Burn it now!
Bury it under the foolishness called life.⁠⁠⁠⁠
