Layers of History

On that formica table, cold to the touch,

memories linger, revealing so much.

Scratches and stains tell the tales of the past,

a canvas of moments that echoes steadfast.


The light catches edges, illuminating flaws,

where laughter was shared and quiet made pause.

Underneath layers, a truth waits in sight,

reminders of people who colored my night.
