Broken Bones
Should the story end?
It is both a blessing and a curse to feel everything so deeply
I curse my own heart for caring even when I know better
I've seen people's true colors; I've been disappointed and hurt by the same ones over and over again
And I still can't bring myself to let go
Toyed with, manipulated, and thrown away
Break my bones, why don't you?
It would heal over time, it would never be the same again and it would ache every time it gets cold, but it would hurt less than what you do to my heart
Unappreciated, mistreated, unrequited
What am I even doing?
I already know how this ends
I've been here before
Last time it almost ended for good
Maybe this time it will

B. A. Durham’s False Memories blends dream and reality in a seamless mix. As his father, afflicted by Alzheimer’s, fades away, the narrator is haunted by a dream that may be a memory, returning to him insistently. The piece is full of wonderful detail (the father touching his lip where once there was a mustache, “but now he is clean-shaven—he has been for years” — and moving in revealing the complexities of a family’s life. A worthy winner which shows the power of dreams to influence us.
