Treasure's Pool

Filled with memories
Both happy and sad.
So cool to the touch
So easy to drown in.

Whatever happened to life?
Whatever happened to friends?

Promises mean nothing
When lives are no longer shared,
I guess.

Treasure's Pool is closing.
Wild flowers have wilted away.
Babies have died.
Houses gone to ruin.

What does it matter anyway?

Water is supposed to heal.
But i am afraid to touch it,
For fear of wounds reopened.

When can we openly return
To Treasure's pool?
