Memory

A poem.

Your strength is strong;

you pull me to places I don’t want to go.

How the paths I walked years ago

trigger the fragrance of you.

How I know I will not step back to the land I met you

because it will take me back to a time I loved you

and you loved me,

and how just the mere thought of your shadow walking towards me

will shatter what I had just rebuilt.

Memory,

you are a blessed curse.

Without you, I cannot live,

but with you, I cannot forget.
