Memory Loss

There is no past for me.

Anything that happened

While I was with others

Are Their Memories

I have lost my own

Loneliness.

 

And with that the pain of

Those who contain those memories

Feel pain and frustration

With sorrow, faced or hidden.

 

“So, my dear friend,

The memories we made together

Are just the structure of

Our interactions with the world around us and each other.

The emotion that I feel for you

Will always be there

Waiting for your presence,

Voice,

Laughs,

And cries for me

Even your anger

And hatred for others

And even me.

 

I can never lose the emotion

That I feel about you.

When you are around,

Or gone,

And even now.

 

So even if I lose you

And never have met you again

After the loss of my memory

I will feel something missing

And a part of that is you.

 

Those memories,

That you cherish and that I long

To know and remember

Are not the matter ahead,

Let us make memories that

Will fill that lost void in my mind.

 

But you know,

I’ll always will be your friend

Even if I forget you.

Because it not memories that create bonds,

It’s the emotion that allows us…

To break the bounds of time.”

  1. “But you know,
    I’ll always will be your friend
    Even if I forget you.”
    Sad concept. Reminds me of my best friend who got Alzheimers. She forgot many
    of our memories yet she knew I was someone special in her life.
    In her death bed, I asked her if she knew who I was, she said,
    “yes, you’re my sister” I thought close enough.

    • I have never experienced anyone who loss their memory who I was close too . But I understand loss, I have losses many people during my child hood who took care for me when i didn’t love myself, I was kept away from my family for 3 years (almost 4) and then for a short time of less than a year i spend visits with my mother, i haven’t seen her or heard anything for her in three years, i also loss my grandma too. Emotions live on as memories are forgotten. I have made a series of poems for a school project called “Feelings of Mourning And Loss” I may try to post them when I can. But I believe you should not mourn for their death because they wont be able to comfort you.

  2. That must have been hard to be kept away from your family for 3 to 4 years.
    And loosing your grandma too.
    I too believe that mourning too long is not good it does not bring comfort nor the
    person who died back.
    Good luck with your writing project at school. If you post some of it here, send me a message so I can read and comment on your work.
