Milomi's world

This is a poem about how we forget memories. The excruciating process, which we unconsciously give in to. And the state this leaves us in.

SLIP

Memories will slip through

Fall through your fingers

Like grains of sand

Obeying gravity.

Not heeding your pain

Or urge to relive moments

Overlooking the human in you.

As you slip into a daze

With everything hazy

The world spinning around you

Threatening to let you fall off a cliff

If you even as much tremble.

Life becomes blurry

Clarity is a long lost hope

Soon turning into a broken dream.

Sense is drifting away

As you drift apart

Breaking your mind into pieces

That cannot be retrieved

But are meant to be trampled upon.

Soon all you stare out into the nothingness

Into a black hole that swallows whatever pinpricks of life and joy

You have left.

That edges towards you

Somehow inviting, brimming with lost memories

Tempting you to give in

Yet vowing to outlive you.
