Memories

Memories

To look back, to hold onto

something that you've already left.

Memories are what hold bonds

sometimes stronger than anything else alive.

They allow empathy, but they can

also be so negative. These are

what trigger someone to live

as though they are experiencing

a traumatic moment that never

will seem to end. The problem is

that time never stands still.

If you hide out, chances are

that the world will move on

without you.

Memories

they hold together our world,

they keep people alive

without the memories

our world would never

have grown.

interseting conception of memories, although i do not agree with the second part. I do like the first part though, about how people can reexperience a traumatic moment over and over, somewhat in like Just Listen by Sarah Dessen or Keeping the Moon (same author). have you read any books by Sarah Dessen?
