Memories

Memories are strong
reminding me how
weak I am
At times they feel
like a lifetime away
tiny pieces of myself
suspended in the 
dulling haze of 
Time
Other times they reach out
and grab onto me
with the desperation
of one helpless and drowning
holding on for fear 
of disappearing forever
into the abyss
I try to run away
but the more I resist
the stronger their hold
on me 
until I am the one
left helpless and 
drowning
Reaching out in desperation
for fear of 
disappearing
Forever
