Saudade

Bright neon lights and the dark night sky...
Both symbols of memories, but why ?...
Why do they remind us of our lie of a life ?...
Just thinking about them is making me cry...
But, try as I try...
They always remain on my mind...
It seems as though memories flow...
Through their far off stars and chemical filled pipelines...
The joyous vibrancy of neon...
And the dark, blank space of the sky...
Contradict each other like memories in our minds...
Hardening back to simpler and more desirable times...
