FOOL.S.GOLD

nothing gold ever stays
“we’ll have our memories” he says
like im not already clinging to reminiscence
he sets the table with expectation
taking his time with syrup and hollandaise
never mistaking the sugar and salt
your certainty is a battleground for my doubt
to be idolized or remembered?
holding the balance on my fingertips
are searching your chest for what will be
i could have sworn i was telling the truth when i said i wasnt scared anymore
“Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let the pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place”
