A Torn Picture

By: Michelle *Pinky* Velazquez

My memories don't last- so all I have are pictures.
They stay on paper forever, like the beautiful scriptures.

I would be so angry and want to let out cries.
But I looked at your picture, at your beautiful eyes.

Mi Puerto Rican tan guapo, con ojos verde.
Pero lo que yo dijo regreso y me muerde.

"It won't last, my heart died when I was born."
It's true what I said. Now all I have is a picture...
that's torn.
