Plan to Forget

Memories to Forget
by Anun

I can only think of that afternoon
where everything was in monochrome
Numbed with mind filled with overwhelming beats
Of wild music flowing so gracefully with chaos
The same picture depicted
of the day and days before
Same old song, same old music
All same thing so new.


I have just phoned mama, everything was fine, but despite of her composed voice, I can feel sadness between the words while we were talking. For more than two decades, our family have lived in the simple comfort of the province, but today, she had expressed her desire to make a new start in Manila. Away from the place that brought our family the heartache that one needs not to suffer. Away from awful memories of that one afternoon where all our lives changed.
