Memories

memories, painful enough to kill

   inch by inch, chewing up your insides...

faces flash past, glances chance, smiles fade

   but the look in those eyes

     eternal engravings on the walls of the mind...

memories of the dead pass by in peace

     silent couplets of fond memories...

memories of the yet living

   a drug you choose to take

      kill yourself with painful pleasure

           else ignite your veins with a spark of vengeance...

Excellent...

[Pradeep Nair]

people say sweet memories....
I can never associate a positive prefix with memories.
Memories are always painful...aftermath of losses.
it kills, spreads it venom, whenever you are at peace with yourself.

In short verses, you have created a shape to memories.
Always want to read from you...

memories of the yet living
a drug you choose to take
kill yourself with painful pleasure
else ignite your veins with a spark of vengeance...
loved those lines. memories give you birth pleasure and pain, sometimes you cherish tem and sometimes you wish you could erase them - you've expressed it all beautifully. well done!
