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
