Thoughts to Memories

I hope I can express this feeling
With the right words.

These piling emotions I’ve been sealing
Now whisper quietly
Telling me
Things I tried to lock away.
And why is it that it’s so easy
To make new memories…with such ease
But forgetting them is so difficult and this painfully
Long.
Locked away in time,
Sealed completely
In my memory,
You stand perfectly still, almost as if waiting.
While I am forcibly moved forward,
Farther apart.
That rift between us
Continues to grow
With such a powerful force
That it is impossible to resist.
“Moving onâ€?
Isn’t as easy as others make it out to be
And as much as I try to push my thoughts into memories,
The bond begins to slowly shatter.
I know it shouldn’t matter…
But if these thoughts are the only bond left
I will hold onto it even if my body fails me
It cannot be worse than not being able to see you…
