Always grey between black and white
Dawn and dusk - Twilight
Splitting apart day and night
Phosphenes clear to closed eyes
An emergency text
Not an SOS, but a goodbye
Or perhaps nothing at all

You don't see an undo button
Can't get back after the delete
Wasn't just you, but also a little of me
Preserved forever
Memories don't fade
Trust me - try erase or replace
You'll most certainly recall
Trying to make yourself believe
Forever they may be
Forever young I am not
Future 6 feet under carrying weight
Of biting memories not in Bytes
That red rose of blossoming love
Lying withered and lifeless
That silver ring of promise
Tarnished and lackluster
There are downsides
Withering of the plant you cared for
Losing your pet
Losing youself
Love demands sacrifice
Love is not short of memories
As the roses have thorns - there are
Painful memories of passionate love
