post-a-poem, april one

if i could peel back
this wall,
would i find
what i'm searching for?
a lost conversation
between you and me,
scrawled with pink marker
on green wallpaper
covered in Raggedy Anne and Andy?

bunched between
the i rock's and U rule,
the i heart billy idols,
and we love bon jovi
would i find a quiet
BFF...{best friends forever}
a testament from you
to me?

i try to peel
but it sticks and breaks,
it rips
it tears
stubbornly
it just won't return
to how it used to be

instead
it remains as it is...
a fragmented
one sided
memory.

the prompt for inspire me thursday was wallpaper...
which brought on this poem
and also my new banner which resulted from
trying to make wallpaper in illustrator
