Remember
I run my fingers over a locket
And I remember a memory that isn’t mine
Small hands push it open
And close it again with a small click
Repeated over and over
Not looking inside
Blue eyes close and tears fall
Finally looking inside
At a picture of three
A couple and their child
The father comes
He’s crying too
But he’s dried the tears away
Trying to stay strong for the chidl
He takes the child’s hand
The locket falls out of her hand
Hanging open around her neck
