Memories

You know

they always told me

memories fade

I always believed them

I trusted their knowledge

I felt as though this hurt would leave

leave with the memories

 

But memories stick

stick like glue

and you can't peel them off

Memories are not like band aids

they don't come off quickly

they come off slowly

and painfully

I'll never allow myself 

to fill one with unpleasant

haunting

memories

I know the feeling

of suffering

suffocating

drowning

in torture

That's why I don't open up

not to anyone I may be able to lose

or get attached to

why make make more pointless

I loved how you compared memories to band aids, it is so true. A good read and write!
