Memories

Why are bad memory never lost, just forgotten, to appear in our consciousness when we least expect them and least want them? When we're least ready to face them, and try as we can or must, we can't lose them or forget them. They stand there demanding our attention until we're overwhelmed.

And then, when they're satisfied to be alive again, they fade from all the hurt they leave in our mind and our heart. Old wounds opened deeply and violently to the core of our soul, bleeding our spirit until it's empty from the hurt and pain. Our thoughts and feeling exhausted.

And as suddenly as they came they fade leaving their shadow over us as a reminder.
