Never letting go

A personification of Memory. Memories rather, of the kind you want to forget.

The Mind is a funny thing, is it not?
At times its brilliance amazes you,
At times its just plain rot.

And heres the thing about your brain:
In a way its just like Luck,
The more you try to hold it tight,
You're sure to lose your buck.

Sweet Memory s like the temptress tease,
She beckons with a finger,
In eagerness you chase her scent,
Voila ! Oblivion's harbinger !

Oh, but when you cut your ties,
With that elusive creature,
And vow never to try again,
To follow, catch and please her;
Its then that she comes after you,
On tiptoe, patter, patter,
And everywhere you see her face,
A million mirrors that unshatter..

When you reached for her, She fled from you..
When you ran away, she followed..
Now you don't want her anymore,
But her playfulness she's swallowed.
Push her away most cruelly,
Where she is, she'll always be,
Clinging on to you like a parasite,
Haunting your dreams, night after night,
Singing to you to set her free,
"Come to me, Dwell in me, Drown in me".

Clinging on to you like a parasite,
Haunting your dreams, night after night,
Singing to you to set her free,
"Come to me, Dwell in me, Drown in me".

I really enjoyed these words here. I love the darkness of this write. This is well written and descriptive.
