Have you ever lost a memory?

Have you ever lost a memory?

Have you ever lost a memory?
One that you should never have had
Never had in the first place
One that slipped into your life
And took your breath away
The eyes the could see pasted the facade
Look into your soul
And take your beating heart in their hands
All you wish is that they would keep it
But instead throw it back in your face
The echoes of their laughter
Sliding across the water
A silvery ghost
Like a bad van gosh painting
One the brother could not sell
A moon high up
The reflection off the water
And maybe a boat just off to the left
Unfinished words like that painting
Discarded
