Living in Recall

He touched her this morning

Or was it the warm sheets?

His musky scent hovered

Just as she discovered

Her diary open at his entry.

Memories recalled

Are memories relived.

We find relief, we find solace

Make the good ones recur

Push the worst b’low surface.

As she turned the pages

She recalled the depths

The tight togetherness

A shared exclusivity

A fuse-bonded entity.

They were a pair

Born from despair

Having a common ground

They’d stuck around

With an air of ‘we don’t care’.

Till the day they spiralled

Out of control, unravelled

In pieces broken

Shaken, unspoken

Words kill, actions tell.

    Living in recall can, and does uplift the soul… but for some… the pain us sometimes more than one can endure…

    It simmers just below the surface, with nowhere to go but live there, trapped in a never ending cycle.
    Thank you for reading through and pausing to comment, my friend.
