Old Diaries

New life, New start,
a blank slate,
an open heart.
All the memories,
the uncertainties,
locked away
in old diaries.
Do you believe
a new beginning
will announce
a soft foretelling?
A clean page,
bright, crisp, and new,
allows the start of something true.
But
already in the very spark,
it's lines are filled.
With red.
And dark.
