Clinging to the memory (Tanka)

When memories threaten to fade away, we cling to them. AT ANY COST...even if it multiplies the pain...

 

The wound in my heart

May have been healed by now but

Whenever the pain

Seems to be fading, I prick

At it to feel you again

This piece is so strong and painful. It is really true that a heart once broken, its broken forever...and can't be healed even with the passage of time..
That's really sad :(

Wow. This piece is so strong. Almost as if pain is better than nothing. That's having it bad. Rain..

I agree that this is masochistic, not sadistic. Now if the lover came back every time you started to heal to break your heart over and over... that would be sadistic.

Painful! Deep and well said in such few words, which I would like to find more of, but can't...

It is so true. Why do we allow ourselves that torture? Why can't we just move on? Instead our heart lingers. To some that is silly, to others it is love.
