The saddest story ever told
Nights spent together
A yellowed envelope
Full of memories
Chords tainted by the past
Kept safe; To make last
Walking towards the end
Calling out
For what was
So much left behind
Blind to escape
Mouths a gape
History unburied
Burdens to be carried
A family portrait
Faces smeared
Tears of anger
From a complete stranger
The saddest story ever told
Recited with no jurisdiction
Anything except nonfiction
