A Confession

Dreaded memories!
Cursed ghosts of thought!
I hear your cry,
So hear my tale.

I too carry the burden,
Of memories of the lost.
I still remember,
Her smell,
The taste of her lips,
Softness of her skin...
So many sleepless nights,
Trying to navigate this obsidian sea.
To cart the absurd,
Map the insane.
But In all that misery,
I learned a secret.
Memories so real,
Secret treasures of the heart.
They have fallen
Yet left us with arms.

Knowledge of love,
To carve our path.
So it always comes to this,
It's time to try again.
Deep breath.
Steady aim.
Love again.
