A memory

What is a memory?

It is the whisper in your ear, the story in your mind,

The dark little fragment that no one will ever find,

It is the never-ending chase,

The thing you can’t escape,

Sweet dreams that suddenly turn,

While through your mind, memories burn,

Past and present are instantly one,

Remembrance has now begun,

Memories run wild and free,

Ignorant to every plea,

And they are always there.

Always.

wistful nostalgia washed over me and left me with a smile..and maybe a small sigh

Great job, very well written.

This was very well written, compelling. The end was lovely and short. The lines were simple, yet they held such great meaning to them. My favorite line here is "The dark little fragment that no one will ever find...". Nicely done.

Thank you, it's nice to hear what people like. Was there anything you weren't so keen on?

I think the flow was a little lengthy because of the commas after every line. The only periods are at the last two lines... Perhaps adding one or two full-stops would allow the reader to catch a breath so the flow is not too continuous. Albeit, this might just be me, but the periods might facilitate the reading, I am not sure.
