Distorted Memory

Sauntering in an old place I knew
Where lay remnants of my memories
That I already had forgotten
For a very long time ago.

Inside the hallucination
Within me
There I saw a girl,
Drowning for
What her past
Came out to be.

"How come it seems like
I already met her before?"
I kept asking myself
But it still didn't help.

Through her eyes
I tried to find the answer
Then,I discovered
She used to smile,
She used to laugh
But never felt love
That she had been
Yearning to have.

As I stared straight ahead
Tears welled up on her eyes
Trying to let go all the things
She had kept inside
Saying that all her life
Was but a stupid lie.....

Showing her weak side
Her unfeigned feelings
She couldn't longer hide
As the pain in her still resides.

We needed no words
To talk to each other
Even though we were silent
When we were together
We communicated
To each other's soul.

Fear gripped my chest so hard
That I couldn't breathe
As I heard her mumbling,
"I am caged,
I am locked,
I am smothered,
Within my past."

The words mersmerized me
For I felt the same way
She was going through that time
Telling me to continue
Those magical lines......

"Although I said my past
Wouldn't matter anymore,
It is still a part of me.
Hoping that life would be fair
Like it used to be".....

The loneliness
Drawn on her face
Was replaced
By such a sweet smile
While I was startled
Of what i had said....

As she started to fade away,
She left me messages
That I treasure
Up to this day....

"Simply,life is difficult
We don't know what obstacles
May come into our lives....
Pretending to everyone
That everything you can do,
To smile, hiding the rage inside,
To laugh, covering up the griefs that rise.
Thinking someone can love us
And the trials we can surpass."

"Sometimes we tend
To be strong even if
We are really not....
Trying to forget the past
That we should never do....
Getting rid of all the lies
Knowing hurt will always be the price"...
