Memories and Cardboard Tassles Pt. 3

By Crush_With_Eyeliner

We have collided, then,
against our own
eternal epiphany.
I look backward through
half-dead prisms
to see the skeletons
of my own memory.
If IĀ could measure
my regret, in units
of length,
it would stretch
past all horizons.
Past what time
can heal.
